No - they are nucleic acids.

Carbohydrates are sugars, such as glucose. They are made up of C, H and O.

DNA and RNA contain a sugar, ribose (or deoxyribose), but also contain phosphate and a nitrogenous base.

Are DNA and RNA carbohydrates?

Yes, DNA and RNA have different sugar . DNA contains deoxyribose sugar whereas RNA consists of ribose sugar, which are completely different from each other.


When is uracil used in DNA?

No, it is not found in DNA, thought it is found in RNA.

How does the Cell's nucleus get the new nucleotides that are necessary to form new Rna and DNA?

Nucleotides are assembled from raw materials and precursors. New DNA and Rna strands RESULT mainly from nucleotide RECYCLING!


How does the enzyme that RNA know where to start transcribing the DNA?

The enzyme that synthesizes RNA (RNA polymerase) binds specific DNA sequencesthat typically lie before the gene being transcribed. When everything it needs to start synthesis is properly assembled (any cofactors, etc.), only then can it begin transcribing DNA into RNA.

They are DNA molecules. They are stored in chromosomes


Principle molecule that carries out the instructions coded in DNA?

The principle molecule that carries out the instructions coded in DNA is messenger RNA (mRNA). It serves as a template for protein synthesis by carrying genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where proteins are assembled.


Are carbohydrates found in the nucleus?

The four macromolecules found in living things are: carbohydrates (sugars and starches), lipids (fats, oils and waxes), protein (including enzymes) and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). DNA and RNA are made from subunits called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The sugar is deoxyribose for DNA, and ribose for RNA. In this regard, you could say that there are carbohydrates found in the nucleus.


Is the enzyme that allows replication to occur DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase?

DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.


What nitrogenous is found in rna but not in DNA?
