Binary acids contain hydrogen and how many other elements?
one, and binary compounds don't always contain hydrogen, just 2 different elements
What elements does acid contain?
Acid is not a single substance. Rather acids are a group of compounds generally characterized by the production of Hydronium ions (H3O+) in water. Nearly all acids contain hydrogen but can include a wide varity of other elements.
What element is found in proteins and nucleic acids but not in other organic compounds?
i think amio acids
Which Cell organelle do not have nucleic acids?
Prokaryotes. These type of cells usually only have a genetic strand of chromosomes, some organelles (not membrane bound ones though) and no nucleus. These will usually be germs, viruses, and etc. Eukaryotes that the other type that are found to be all animal cells and they are completely different. They have membrane bound organelles and a nucleus.
Does hydrogen contain chlorine?
No. Both chlorine and hydrogen are elements. Elements cannot contain other elements.
What is the name and primary function of the other nucleic acid found in cells?
nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. (mostly known as DNA) its primary function is to contain genetic information about the living organism which carries it. Helping it, is its monomer. (a monomer is a single cell in which helps its host, in this case, the host is Nucleic Acids.) Nucleic Acids monomer is nucleotide. Nucleotide is the other part of the Nucleic Acids and like i said, helps it contain its genetic information, or DNA.
Why are prions unlike any other infectious disease?
They contain only protein and no nucleic acids
Describe the characteristics that distinguish nucleic acids from the other major groups of macromolecules.?
- Presence of Pyrimidine and Purine - Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information that makes them different from other macromolecules. - Nucleic acids contain ribose and deoxyribose sugar connected with bases. - Nucleotides are joined by covalent bonds called Phosphodiester.
Cells membranes do not have what type of macromolecules?
Nucleic acids. The membrane contains mostly lipids. Other molecules acting as receptors contain both protein and carbohydrates. so the only macromolecule missing is nucleic acids.
DNA and RNA are 2 examples of what?
Nucleic acids. Dna = Deoxyribonucleic Acid Rna = Ribonucleic Acid
Binary acids contain hydrogen and how many other elements?
one, and binary compounds don't always contain hydrogen, just 2 different elements

Is there another nucleic acid other than DNA and RNA?
Yes, more nucleic acids exist.
What element is found in proteins and nucleic acids but not in other organic compounds?
i think amio acids
Where in the cell will you find nucleic acids?
The nucleic acids that comprise DNA are guanine, adenine, cytosine, and thymine. The nucleic acids that comprise RNA (which is produced as a copy of DNA and a template for making proteins, and also makes up the ribosomes, among other things) are the same, except instead of thymine you have uracil. There are many other nucleic acids that play different roles in the cell, but those are the main ones.
How many amino acids are in DNA and Proteins?
DNA contains no amino acids, it contains nucleic acids. Proteins can contain from 2 amino acids to tens of thousands.
What is the need for centrifuge in DNA isolation?
The frist part of DNA isolation involves separating the nucleic acids from other cellular components. A centrifuge is required to partition proteins from the nucleic acids
