Question
What is the difference between a nucleoside and a nucleotide?
✓
Answer
A nucleoside is formed by the attachment of a base to$^{\ce{I}\ '}$ position of sugar.
Nucleoside $=$ Sugar $+$ Base
On the other hand, all the three basic components of nucleic acids $($i.e., pentose sugar, phosphoric acid, and base$)$ are present in a nucleotide.
Nucleotide $=$ Sugar $+$ Base $+$ Phosphoric acid
Nucleoside $=$ Sugar $+$ Base
