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.

Are enzymes all 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.

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.

What are the food sources of nucleotide?

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.

How do you create a concept map out of cell carbohydrates protein enzymes DNA sugar lipids nucleotides amino acids and nucleic acid?

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.


Which enzymes are responsible for the final chemical breakdown of carbohydrates amino acids and nucleic acids?

For carbohydrates, amylase breaks down polysaccharides like starch into simple sugars. Proteases break down proteins into amino acids. Nucleases degrade nucleic acids into nucleotides.

What enzymes are responsible for the final chemical breakdown of carbohydrates and amino acids and nucleic acids?

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.
