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.
The DNA molecule is a double helix: that is, two long, thin strands twisted around each other like a spiral staircase. The DNA double helix showing base pairs. The sides are sugar and phosphate molecules. The rungs are pairs of chemicals called 'nitrogenous bases', or 'bases' for short.
