    A)
    Category Component
    Cholesterol Guanine

    B)
    Category Component
    Amino acid \[N{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)
    Category Component
    Nucleotide Adenine

    D)
    Category Component
    Nucleoside Uracil

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] A combination of a nitrogen base with a pentose sugar is known as nucleoside. The Nitrogen base combines with the sugar Molecule at its carbon atom 1' in a glycosidic bond (C-N-C) by one of its nitrogen atoms (usually 1 in pyrimidines and 9 in purines). Depending upon the type of pentose sugar, nucleosides are differentiated into ribonucleosides and deoxyribonucleosides.
