A polymerase is an enzyme that creates polymers of nucleic acids. As an example, the enzyme RNA polymerase helps create nucleic acids that form transcript RNA.
Digestive enzymes break down nucleic acids:)
The pancreas secretes enzymes that help digest nucleic acids in the small intestine. These enzymes break down nucleic acids into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body for energy and cellular functions.
Nucleic acids.
The four types of organic molecules found in living things are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates serve as a source of energy, lipids function as energy storage and structural components, proteins have various roles such as enzymes and structure, and nucleic acids carry genetic information.
nucleic acids.
No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.
enzymes made of proteins breakdown nucleic acids to form nucleotides
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.

Digestive enzymes break down nucleic acids:)
i don't like you :(
Any food has nucleic acid, because all living things contain nucleic acid. The only way a food wouldn't have nucleic acid is if you eat something weird, like plastic, as my biology teacher says.
nucleic acids
To create a concept map: Start with a central topic or main idea, such as "Cell." Branch out to related concepts like "Carbohydrates," "Proteins," "Enzymes," "DNA," "Sugar," "Lipids," "Nucleotides," "Amino Acids," and "Nucleic Acids." Connect these concepts with arrows to show relationships and dependencies (e.g., how nucleic acids are made of nucleotides). Include short descriptions or keywords on each branch to summarize the connection between concepts.
For carbohydrates, amylase breaks down polysaccharides like starch into simple sugars. Proteases break down proteins into amino acids. Nucleases degrade nucleic acids into nucleotides.
Pancreas
The final breakdown of carbohydrates is facilitated by enzymes like amylase, sucrase, and maltase, which break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Amino acids are broken down by enzymes like proteases and peptidases, which break proteins into individual amino acids. Nucleic acids are broken down by enzymes such as nucleases, which break down DNA and RNA into nucleotides.
