What are the 2 major nucleic acids in the body?
rna and dna
Is nucleic acids organic or inorganic?
Nucleic acids are organic molecules because they are synthesised in the body and are made of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen
Is nucleic acids formed with peptide bonds?
Yes, nucleic acids are formed with peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a bond between a nitogen and a phosphorous. These are used to produce energy in the body.
What are examples of pure substances found in the human body?
sodium chloride, glucose, amino acids, nucleic acids, triglycerides
What molecules of your body is nitrogen?
Nitrogen is in many compounds.They are in proteins,nucleic acids etc
What will happen if there is lack of nucleic acids in your body?
If there is a lack of nucleic acids in your body, you are unable to reproduce. Nucleic acids form the basis for the passing on of DNA.
What is the rda of nucleic acids?
you cant have an RDA for nucleic acids because they are things like RNA and DNA and those are already in your body
What are the types of nucleic acids?
RNA and DNA
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).
What do the nucleic acids do in the body?
The nucleic acid is a protein found in RNA and DNA to determine our genes . Edit: NUCLEIC ACIDS ARE NOT PROTEINS. Do they have amino groups? No. Are they made out of Amino acids? no. Nucleic acids are polymers which are also known as RNA and DNA. They contain all of the information of the body.
Why don't we eat nucleic acids?
our body makes them on its own
What are the 2 major nucleic acids in the body?

Why do the cells in your body never use nucleic acids as an energy source?
according to my calculations, the cells use carbohydrates as an energy source, and that is enough for the body nucleic acids are used for our genetic makeup and not for our energy usage
What is the action of nuclease in the body?
nuclease helps to digest the nucleic acids such as DNA & RNA in the body.
