There are only two types of nucleic acids, and neither transport energy. DNA holds all the cellular information, RNA decodes that information and takes it to the Ribosomes to make proteins. That's it

∙ 14y agoNucleic acids do contain energy, mainly in the sugar phosphate backbone, but their function is not to store energy. Lipids and carbohydrates are biomolecules that are synthesized for energy storage.

∙ 13y agoThey are used as energy source for a lot of cellular processes in the form of polyphosphate nucleotides (and especially adenosine triphosphate ATP). The energy comes from the release of the last or the two last phosphates of the molecule.
Careful though, they are *intracellular* energy sources. At the scale of an entire organism, "energy sources" are carbs, proteins and lipids. These molecules are further processed and converted in ATP (eg).
Proteins and sugars; nucleic acids as well as lipids [fats (from animals) and oils (from plants)]: all of them possess structural functions and, as well, they can all be used as fuel.

What provide energy for RNA polymerase?
How energy for movement RNA polymerase on DNA provide
Sugar and phosphates provide the energy for dna replication?
true
Does DNA provides energy for all cell activities?
DNA doesn't provide energy for all cell activities, DNA contains instructions for the cell to complete its job as a cell and to reproduce, but ATP provides energy to the cell for it to do all of its activities.
Why cholesterol do not provide energy to body?
cholesterol do not provide energy to body because the energy that contains the it wastes ots of energy so it doesnt provide energy.
Explain two ways mitochondria may be involved with aging?
Aging has been linked to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage in two ways. Mitochondrial DNA provides energy to the cells, when it gets damaged, it will not provide the energy that is needed to function properly, and then the host will get sick. Damaged mitochondrial DNA also plays a role in genetic diseases, it is similar to damaged mitochondrial DNA seen in older humans, but only the damage presents itself much sooner.
What are Nucleotides and where are they located in the DNA?
provide energy. in dna
What provide energy for RNA polymerase?
How energy for movement RNA polymerase on DNA provide
Sugar and phosphates provide the energy for dna replication?
true
What organelle has its own DNA and provides energy to both plant and animal cells?
Mitochondria have their own DNA and provide energy in both plants and animals cells
What does not provide energy for the body?
That would be Nucleic Acids, if I'm correct. These make up DNA and RNA structure - they don't provide energy to the body.
Does DNA provides energy for all cell activities?
DNA doesn't provide energy for all cell activities, DNA contains instructions for the cell to complete its job as a cell and to reproduce, but ATP provides energy to the cell for it to do all of its activities.
What does the nutrient provide for the body?
That would be Nucleic Acids, if I'm correct. These make up DNA and RNA structure - they don't provide energy to the body.
Do fingerprints provide DNA?
Fingerprints do not provide DNA themselves. It is the DNA that creates the contours of your fingerprints, so rather than providing the DNA fingerprints merely support it. Therefore, if DNA is already available it can easily be linked to fingerprints.
Where is the potential energy in a DNA molecule found?
The potential energy stored in the bonds of the phosphates provides the energy for DNA synthesis.
Why cholesterol do not provide energy to body?
cholesterol do not provide energy to body because the energy that contains the it wastes ots of energy so it doesnt provide energy.
What transfer the most energy appliances that provide heat energy or appliances that provide other forms of energy?
appliances that provide heat energy
The parts of DNA that provide the code for proteins are the?
The parts of DNA that provide the code for protein are called genes.
