What is nucleic acids monomers?
nucleotide
Why is ATP categorized as a nucleic acid?
As biopolymers, nucleic acids are consisted of simpler molecules (monomers).More specially, these monomers are known as nucleotides.Every nucleotide is constructed of pentose, inorganic phosphate (p) and a nitrogen base.ATP is exactly such nucleotide - it's pentose is ribose, the nitrogen base is adenine and 3 inorganic phosphates are bonded to the pentose. Namely because of its nucleotide nature, ATP is part of the nucleic acids family.
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No. Amino acids are monomers of proteins and nucleic acids is a macromolecule.
What best describes nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids are polymers. They are made of monomers Nucleotides.
What are the sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids?
Amino acids
What is nucleic acids monomers?
nucleotide
What is monomers of nucleotides?
Nucleotide is the monomer. Nucleotide is the monomer of Nucleic Acids.
What is a nucleotide polymer?
Both DNA and RNA are polymers of Nucleic Acids
What is a monomer of nucleic acids?
Nucleotide is the monomer. Nucleotide is the monomer of Nucleic Acids.
Nucleic acids are made of what?
monomers,polymers=nucleotides
Nucleic acids are polymers of smaller subunits that are called what?
Nucleic acids are composed of monomers called nucleotides.

Are DNA and RNA molecules considered monomers or polymers?
They are considered polymers. The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No. Amino acids are monomers of proteins and nucleic acids is a macromolecule.
What are monomers of nucleic acids?
Nucleotides
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 parts of a nucleotide make up the backbone of a nucleic acid-?
Nucleic acids are made up of monomers called nucleotides, which consist of; a sugar, a phosphate part and an N-containing base.
