The term nucleic acid was used to describe these molecules because of their discovery within the cell nucleus, and because of the presence of phosphate groups and their relationship to phosphoric acid. The only difference between the two molecule is the presence of a hydroxyl group attached to one member of the carbon ring in RNA.
