Carbo - hydrate. Glucose is a common carbohydrate that will show up again and again as we discuss cell chemistry: its formula is C6H12O6. Table sugar, sucrose, is two single sugars bound together: a disaccharide simple sugar. Sugars can be anything from a single sugar molecule up to several bound together.
The two sides of the DNA molecule are Deoxyribose and phosphate these two molecules are what make up the two sides of DNA.
So, the codon is only on one side of the DNA, and there are 2 sides. In order to be able to keep the DNA safe, and package it well (and loads of other reasons ) there is a complimentary strand. The nucleotides that make up DNA are A, T, C, and G. A links to T and C to G, and vice versa.
