Why barbiturates are included in nucleic acids?
Barbiturates are not included in nucleic acids. They are a completely separately group of compounds.
What group of important biochemical compounds are composed of nucleotides?
carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins
What group of macromolecules does DNA belong to?
it belongs with nucleic acid
Is DNA a example of a compound?
a nucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic Acid = DNA DNA is a type of carbon-compound known as a nucleic acid. It is a polymer, made up of many monomers called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three compounds which are 1) five carbon sugar called deoxyribose, 2) a phosphate group, and 3) a nitrogenous.
Is glycine dibasic?
No, glycine is NOT dibasic. It has one acidic group and one basic amino group, so depending on the pH it will be acidic, basic, or neutral.
What group of organic macromolecules is DNA in?
It is in the group called 'Nucleic Acids'.
What is the monomer of Nucleic Acids?
monomer of nucleic acids are a sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
The group of organic molecules that that were first discovered in the nucleus of the cell are called?
Nucleic acids
Nucleic acids are polymers of smaller subunits that are called what?
Nucleic acids are composed of monomers called nucleotides.
what are the building blocks of nucleic acids?
The building blocks (called monomers) of nucleic acids are nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.
What group do RNA molecules belong to?
Dna belongs to the groups of nucleotides called Two-Prime-De-Oxy-Ribo-Nucleic-Acid; while Rna stands for Ribo-Nucleic-Acid.
What biomolecule group does DNA belong to?
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.
Are proteins acidic or basic?
acidic
What is acidic radicals?
what are acidic radicals group one
Why barbiturates are included in nucleic acids?
Barbiturates are not included in nucleic acids. They are a completely separately group of compounds.
What is a pentose joined to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group?
A pentose joined to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group is called anucleotide. Nucleotides are building blocks of nucleic acids.
