nuclieic acid is as small as it goes in the human digestive system i believe. that is to say, long strands of DNA are broken down to their monomers, so the sequence ACGT would be brocken down into AMP, CMP, GMP and TMP (MP meaning monophosphate).
im not 100% on it, but im pretty sure that's right.

What macromolecule provides instructions for growth?
Nucleic acids
A nucleic acids is a?
Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides.
How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.
What macromolecules is made up of nucleic acid?
They are the nucleotides . They make up nucleic acids
When needed for a source of energy fatty acids are broken down in glucose?
fat is broken down into fatty acids
When amino acids are broken down they lose their amine groups?
Yes amino acids lose their amine groups when broken down. Amino acids are used as precursors to nucleic acids when broken down.
Which is not a food material normally used broken down to yield energy carbohydrates lipids proteins nucleic acids?
lipids
Can nucleic acids be broken down by the body to yield basic nutrients?
Yes. Nucleic acids are long polymers of nucleotides that are made up of a sugar, a base, and a phosphate group. The components of nucleotides could be used as nutrients.
What are DNA and RNA examples of?
Nucleic acids
What enzyme breaks down nucleic acids?
Digestive enzymes break down nucleic acids:)
How are nucleic acids digested?
Nucleic acids are first broken down in the duodenum of the small intestine. A hormone called cholecystokinin stimulates the release of pancreatic juice from the pancreas, and a component of this pancreatic juice is a group of enzymes called nucleases. Nucleic acids are then digested by these nucleases into single units called nucleotides.
What most directly controls the rate at which food is broken down to release energy A enzymes B hormones C nucleic acids D vitamins?
The factor that most directly controls the rate at which food is broken down to release energy between (A) enzymes, (B) hormones, (C) nucleic acids or (D) vitamins is (A) enzymes.
What macromolecule provides instructions for growth?
Nucleic acids
A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
The process that breaks up molecules into smaller units is called catabolism. Large molecules, such as nucleic acids, are broken down into smaller molecules, such as amino acids.
What is the name of the macromolecules that makes up DNA?
Nucleic acids.
A nucleic acids is a?
Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides.
What are fats proteins and carbohydrates broken down into?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down into sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
