Yes, nucleic acids do contain nitrogen.
Nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) are synthesized by polymerization of nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a purine or pyrimidine base. It is the bases that contain nitrogen (N). The purines (adenine and guanine) have six N atoms per molecule, five as members of the two fused rings, and one as a side group -NH2. Of the pyrimidines, cytosine has three N (two in the ring and one as -NH2), while thymine and uracil have two (the two in the ring).
To see structural formulae, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purine
(for adenine and guanine) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrimidine
(for cytosine, thymine, and uracil). In the formula of thymine the line representing a side bond in the top left corner signifies a methyl (-CH3) group.
No, unlessyou are talking about something besides humans.
No, only C, H, N, O
Does Nucleic Acid contain sulfur?
No. They contain Phosphorus.
no
Both a sulfur molecule (S8) and a sulfur dioxide molecule (SO2) contain the element sulfur. Beyond that they are very different.
A sulfur molecule contains many sulfur atoms. These atoms combined together to form sulfur molecule i.e. S8.
It contains sulfate, which is 1 sulfur molecule and 4 oxygen molecules.
why is the symbol for the element sulfur different from the formula fod a molecule of sulfur
rubber bands do contain sulfur
A sulfur molecule contain more atoms.
A sulfur molecule contain more atoms.
Both a sulfur molecule (S8) and a sulfur dioxide molecule (SO2) contain the element sulfur. Beyond that they are very different.
dna molecule
Both contain sulphur atoms. Elemntal sulfur is most commonly found as S8, a ring molecule, wheras sulfur dioxide, SO2, is a gas.
dna molecule
Sulfur is a chemical element (S).The so-called "sulpha" drugs contain sulfur in the molecule.
The transforming principle contain DNA.
The similarity of sulfur molecule and the sulfur dioxide molecule is the type of bond.
Sulfur difluoride molecule contain 3 atoms.
The DNA molecule contains the genes for the construction of protein molecules.Genes contain instructions for building proteins.
A sulfur molecule contains many sulfur atoms. These atoms combined together to form sulfur molecule i.e. S8.
