RNA, not DNA
In a way, yes. Metabolic reactions are capable of chemical reactions. Specialized cells, such as nerve, muscle, or blood cells, carry out distinctive chemical reactions. However, all cells perform certain basic reactions, such as buildup and breakdown of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. These reactions include hundreds of specific chemical changes that occur rapidly - yet in a coordinated fashion - thanks to enzymes.
DNA is the molecule that holds the genetic information in all cellular forms of life and some viruses. Occasionally, RNA also stores genetic information in cells.
The nucleic acid that carries the genetic information in the cell and is capable of self-replication is DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is composed of two strands that form a double helix, and it encodes the genetic instructions for the development and functioning of an organism.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that carries the genetic information needed to construct cells. It is also capable of self-replication and synthesizing ribonucleic acid (RNA).
anabolic pathway is one that the products are more complicated than reactants. they usually need energy(ΔG>0) anabolic pathways are enzymatic and occur in living organism cells and uses energy to construct components of cells such as protein and nucleic acid.

Although potassium does not enter the composition of cell constituents, it is essential for the functioning of about 40 enzymes which take part in glycolysis, kreb's cycle, photosynthesis, starch synthesis, oxidative and photophosphorylation,, synthesis of nucleic acids, chlorophyll and activity of ATP in many reactions.Potassium in the ionic form functions as an activator in enzymatic reactions.
A protein that has enzymatic (ase) activity.That is,it can cleave other proteins (prot) at specific amino acid sequences.Contrast a nuclease, which is a protein that has enzymatic (ase) activity. It is able to cleave nucleic (nuc) acids.All about the prefixes and the suffixes.

Translation involves taking the message that's in the messenger RNA and in a sense decoding the message from the language of nucleic acids to the language of proteins or polypeptides. For translation to happen, the messenger RNA goes to the cytoplasm where it is attached to a cellular structure called a ribosome. Ribosome's are two part molecular assemblies consisting of various proteins plus a special kind of RNA called ribosomal RNA. Ribosomal RNA is involved in catalyzing some of the chemical reactions of translation.

Yes and no. The basic machinery is there, but the instructions may not be. For example, red blood cells do not have nucleic acid at all. In other cells the nucleic acid instructions may be present but "inactivated".
Nucleic acids
A nuclease is an enzyme capable of cleaving the phosphodiester bonds between the nucleotide subunits of nucleic acids
