Which element is found in nucleic acids but not in protein?
The only element that is not found in any of the 20 essential amino acids but is found in nucleic acids is Phosphorus. It is found in the "Sugar-Phosphate backbone" of nucleic acid but is not found in any of the essential amino acids. Many proteins interact with phosphate groups but they do not make up the protein.
What does the code for genetic information change to during translation?
Nucleic Acids to Amino Acids--APEX
Nucleic acids can be distinguished from proteins by?
Nucleic acids are the building blocks of DNA and RNA.The five nucleic acids are:3 pyrimidine bases: Cytosine and Thymine (or Uracil in RNA) next to2 purine bases: Adenine and Guanine. None of them contains an amino group which is essential in protein formation of amino acids.Proteins are built of the building blocks called amino acids. (there are about twenty different amino acids)
What are the 4 major macromolecules and monomers?
The 4 macomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids,proteins, and nucleic acids. Their monomers are: Carbohydrates- Simple sugar Lipids-Fatty Acid Protein-Amino Acids Nucleic Acid-Nucleotide
What kinds of molecules contain the instructions for ordering amino acids in proteins?
what kind of molecules contain the insructions for ordering amino acid in protein
How is protein translated during protein synthesis?
From nucleic acids to amino acids
How is information during protein synthesis?
From nucleic acids to amino acids
Nucleotides are to nucleic acids as amino acids are to?
An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.
What is the monomer of a protein polymer?
The monomers of proteins are known as amino acids....A further explanation:Do not confuse amino acids with nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA and are another one of the BIG 4 macromolecules that are needed to survive.The 4 are:Carbohydrates (monomer: monosaccaride)Proteins (monomer: amino acids)Lipids (monomer: fatty acids)Nucleic Acids (monomer: nucleotides)
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No. Amino acids are monomers of proteins and nucleic acids is a macromolecule.
The nucleic acids RNA and DNA work together to?
specify the order of amino acids in protein synthesis

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.
How did scientists convert information when using reverse transcriptase insulin research?
from amino acid to nucleic acids
How is information converted in translation?
From nucleic acids to amino acids
