What else can I help you with?
Which element is found in nucleic acids but not in proteins?
phosphorus is present in nucleic acids and not in proteins
Which of these is an infectious agent composed of both nucleic acids and protein?
A virus is an infectious agent composed of both nucleic acids (either DNA or RNA) and protein.
What is the infectious Particle that contains nucleic acids and is surounded by proteins?
A virus
What two biomolecules can carry the genetic information for the virus?
nucleic acids and proteins
If you opened a virus what would you?
You would find nucleic acids and core proteins
Where is the location of all nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids are present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and in the cytoplasm of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. They are also found in some organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Additionally, nucleic acids can be found in viruses.
What is ALWAYS present in proteins and nucleic acids but is not usually present in lipids or carbohydrates?
Nitrogen
What type of virus contains reverse transcriptase and what type of nucleic acid does this virus type contain?
It contains retroviruses, like HIV and it also contains RNA nucleic acids.
If you have discovered a new virus and have isolated its nucleic acids What feature could you look for to determine if the nucleic acids of this virus are RNA or DNA?
One way to determine if the nucleic acids of the virus are RNA or DNA is to check for the presence of thymine in the nucleic acid sequence. Thymine is only found in DNA, so its presence would indicate that the virus has a DNA genome. Conversely, the presence of uracil instead of thymine would indicate an RNA genome.
Which pair of nucleic acids are present in DNA but not RNA?
cylosine and guanine
Do many food substances contain nucleic acids?
Yes, nucleic acids are present in many food substances, including meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Plants also contain nucleic acids, particularly in seeds and legumes. Eating a balanced diet with a variety of foods can help ensure adequate intake of nucleic acids.
What macromolecule provides instructions for growth?
Nucleic acids
