SimUText DNA Replication| Questions and Answers| Already Passed| Grade A+ in a nucleotide, what is attached to the 3' carbon in deoxyribose? hydroxyl group (OH) to which carbon in deoxyribose is the phosphate group attached? 5' what does it mean to say that polymerization proceeds 5' -> 3'? DNA polymerase always adds nucleotides onto the 3' end of a DNA strand deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTP) Free nucleotides with three phosphate groups Breaking covalent bond to release pyrophosphate (two phosphates) provides energy to connect nucleotides dNTPs supply energy to polymerize DNA and they become nucleotides in the DNA phosphodiester bond connects successive nucleotides, links 3' carbon of one nucleotide to 5' carbon of another
