AI Generated Solution

To group the given substances as nitrogenous bases and nucleosides, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - **Nitrogenous Bases**: These are organic molecules that contain nitrogen and are fundamental components of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The common nitrogenous bases include adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil. - **Nucleosides**: These are formed when a nitrogenous base is attached to a sugar molecule (ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA). Nucleosides do not contain a phosphate group. ...
