Which of the following biomolecules does have a phosphodiester bond?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) - Nucleic acids in a nucleotide.
- In each polynucleotide chain, the deoxyribose molecules of two adjacent nucleotides are linked through one phosphate molecule by a phosphodiester bond.
- Fatty acids in a diglyceride have an ester bond.
- Monosaccharides in polysaccharides have a glycosidic bond.
- Amino acids in a polypeptide have a peptide bond.
Hence, nucleic acids in a nucleotide have a phosphodiester bond.
