A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeated subunits called monomers. Nucleic acids are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Protein is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.

How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.
What element is found in both nucleic acids and proteins?
Nitrogen
What way are the amino acids in proteins and the nucleotides in DNA similar?
They are both polymers.
What two macromolecules are viruses composed of?
a virus and a cell only contain genetic material - got it from study island
What elements is a key ingredient in both proteins and nucleic acids?
Proteins are made of amino acids. Nucleic acids are made of a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group and nitrogen bases [thymine (or uracil in RNA), cytosine, guanine, and adenine].
What do proteins and nucleic acids both have?
Protein and nucleic acid are both composed of amino acids. Completely wrong! Only proteins are composed of amino acids. They have nothing in common, even their chirality is opposite (proteins are levo while nucleic acids are dextro).
How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.
What elements are key ingredients in both proteins and nucleic acids?
Proteins and nucleic acids are different molecules. Amino acids are building block of proteins whereas nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides. The elements in both are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen , nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.
Are both DNA and RNA proteins?
No, they are nucleic acids.
What elements are found in both proteins and nucleic acids?
i think its amio acids.
Are Both DNA and RNA are proteins?
No. Instead, these are considered nucleic acids. Proteins are made up of sequence of amino acids and nucleic acids are made up of phosphate group, nitrogen base, and a pentose.
What element is found in both nucleic acids and proteins?
Nitrogen
What way are the amino acids in proteins and the nucleotides in DNA similar?
They are both polymers.
Are nucleic acids polymers?
Both are made from smaller subunits that are joined by covalent bonds. In the case of proteins, these subunits are called amino acids. They are joined by special covalent bonds called peptide bonds. In the case of nucleic acids, the subunits are called nucleotides, which are a combination of a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), phosphate group, and one of four possible bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine). The nucleotides are covalently bonded along the "ladder" of the DNA molecule. Another feature of polymers is that the covalent bond that links the subunits (or monomers) is formed by dehydration synthesis, that is, a removal of a water molecule.
What two macromolecules are viruses composed of?
a virus and a cell only contain genetic material - got it from study island
DNA and RNA are both types?
They are types of nucleic acids. DNA is found in the nucleus and RNA is found in the nucleolus (in the nucleus) and in the ribosomes. DNA codes for RNA, which codes for proteins which ultimately make up our body.

Proteins are made of amino acids. Nucleic acids are made of a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group and nitrogen bases [thymine (or uracil in RNA), cytosine, guanine, and adenine].
