What do proteins nucleic acids and carbohydrates all have in common?
They are all organic compounds, that is they contain carbon. They all contain hydrogen and oxygen too. Proteins and nucleic acids additionally have nitrogen, and nucleic acids have phosphorus. In addition, proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides like starch (but not simple sugars) are macromolecules.
What are the 4 main categories of macromolecules in a cell?
Lipids carbohydrates proteins Nucleic Acids
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No. Amino acids are monomers of proteins and nucleic acids is a macromolecule.
Are Both DNA and RNA are proteins?
No. Instead, these are considered nucleic acids. Proteins are made up of sequence of amino acids and nucleic acids are made up of phosphate group, nitrogen base, and a pentose.
What are the 4 classes of macromolecules?
Lipids (oils and fats), Carbohydrates [Saccharides (Sugars) and Fibers etc.), Nucleic Acids, and Proteins (You can get from Meat, Eggs, etc.)Carbohydrates (e.g. glucose, sucrose), proteins (e.g. enzymes, transporters, receptors), lipids (e.g. phospholipids, cholesterol), nucleic acids (e.g. DNA, RNA).
What elements are found in both proteins and nucleic acids?
i think its amio acids.
How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.
Do proteins encode nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids encode proteins.
What are the four macromolecules of life?
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What do proteins nucleic acids and carbohydrates all have in common?
They are all organic compounds, that is they contain carbon. They all contain hydrogen and oxygen too. Proteins and nucleic acids additionally have nitrogen, and nucleic acids have phosphorus. In addition, proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides like starch (but not simple sugars) are macromolecules.
What do proteins nucleic acids and carbonhydrates have in common?
