How many different nitrogenous bases are found in nucleic acids?
There is a set of 5 nitrogenous bases used in the construction of nucleic acids.
Nucleic acids can be distinguished from proteins by?
Nucleic acids are the building blocks of DNA and RNA.The five nucleic acids are:3 pyrimidine bases: Cytosine and Thymine (or Uracil in RNA) next to2 purine bases: Adenine and Guanine. None of them contains an amino group which is essential in protein formation of amino acids.Proteins are built of the building blocks called amino acids. (there are about twenty different amino acids)
Nucleic acids are made of what?
monomers,polymers=nucleotides
What is a characteristic of nucleic acids in which the sequence of bases on one strand is paired to the sequence of bases on the other?
Complementary Base- pairs
What is a complex biomolecule that stores cellular information in the form of a code?
Nucleic acid is a macromolecule that holds cell information in a coded form. Nucleic Acids are made of sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen containing bases.

Is DNA and RNA made up of proteins lipids or nucleic acids?
They are nucleic acids. They are made up of nucleotide bases.
What is a nucleic acid coated with a protein?
acids and bases
Which macromolecules have a basic unit that composed of phospate a sugar ring and one of five different bases?
nucleic acids
What are the four nitro bases?
nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids :)
What is the name for a series of three nucleic acid bases on the tRNA?
The name of a series of 3 nucleic acids bases on the tRNA is called anticodon. The name for a series of 3 nucleic acid bases contained on mRNA is called codon.

What macromolecule have nitrogen?
Proteins and nucleic acids contain nitrogen.Proteins use nitrogen as part of amino group, which is NH2.Nucleic acids use nitrogen for nitrogen bases such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
