The basic components of amino acid are:
o Nitrogenous Bases: It is derived from the Purines (Adenine and Guanine) and Pyrimidines (Cytosine, Uracil and Thymine).
o Sugar Moiety: They are present in RNA and DNA in the β-furanose.
o Phosphorous acid: It is formed with the hydroxyl group and divalent oxygen atom.
Hence, they are made up of nitrogen bases, sugars, and phosphates
