Is Glucose cellulose and starch are examples of nucleic acids found in most cells?

Answer 1

No. Nucleic acids are extremely large, complex molecules that exist in all living cells and control heredity. Glucose and glyogen are both carbohydrates. Glucose is a monosaccharide sugar, C6H12O6, and glyogen, C6H12O5, is derived from glucose.

Answer 2

Yes, absolutely, Carbon atoms form most of the chemical 'backbone' of many important macro-molecules in the body. Nucleic acids are simply large molecules built from nucleotides. Nucleotides all contain these three components: 1. phosphate group 2. pentose sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) and 3. Nitrogen containing base (1 of 5 possibilities). It is important to remember that both the pentose sugar and the nitrogen base are carbon-based ring molecules.

Answer 3

No, they are polysaccharides, though they are made up of monomers (monosaccharides) An example of a monosacharide would be fructose, glucose or galactose

Answer 4

Nucleotides can contain two types of sugar, ribose(for RNA), and deoxyribose(for DNA).

Answer 5

DNA and RNA
