Nucleic acid types differ in the structure of the sugar in their nucleotides- DNA contains 2 deoxyribose while the RNA contains ribose. The Nucleobases found in the two nucleic acid types are different: adenine, cytosine and guanine are found in both RNA and DNA.

Does nucleic acid contain lactose and potassium?
no. nucleic acids have a ribose as its sugar. A ribose is a five carbon sugar. Lactose is a 6 carbon sugar and from this, we can say that it is not a ribose. Nucleic acids contain phosphorus but not potassium.
What molecule in the atmosphere is nitrogen found in?
In amino acid and nucleic acid
Name 2 basic kinds of nucleic acids what sugar does each contain?
Two kinds of nucleic acids are:-RNA/ Ribonucleic Acid-DNA/ Deoxyribonucleic AcidAs there names, RNA contain the sugar ribose and DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose
What are the two polymers of nucleic acids?
DNA's sugar is deoxyribose, and RNA's sugar is ribose. (DNA = deoxyribose nucleic acid, RNA = ribonucleic acid)
Which macromolecules have a basic unit that composed of phospate a sugar ring and one of five different bases?
nucleic acids
Is a sugar a nucleic acid?
No, although there is a sugar (pentose) in nucleic acids.
Is sugar a component of Nucleic acid?
no .
What is an example of nucleic acid?
Deoxyribonucliec Acid, and Ribonucliec acid.
What are polymers for rna?
RNA is a polymer that is made up of a sugar called ribose. Ribose is a simple sugar known as pentose monosaccharide.
Which nucleotide indicates the nucleic acid is RNA?
There is sugar,phosphates and nitrogenous base that indicates the nucleic acid is RNA
What are the sugars found in DNA called?
The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose - hence the name deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
What substance is the sugar deoxyribose found in?
In deoxyribose nucleic acid. DNA, as part of the backbone the nitrogenous bases are hung on.
Does nucleic acid have sugar phosphate backbone?
Yes it does
Dna is also referred to as?
DNA = Deoxyribonucleic acid Deoxyribose is a sugar that differs from another sugar called ribose ("ribo") by missing one oxygen atom ("deoxy"). A nucleic acid is a molecule that stores genetic information.
Is RNA is carbohydrate protein lipid or nucleic acid?
DNA is considered a type of nucleic acid. These acids are polymeric macromolecules that are required for life. RNA, is another type of nucleic acid.
Is sugar an example of lipds proteins nucleic acid or carbohydrates?
Sugar is an example of carbohydrates.
What are the two nucleic acid present in genes?
the two nucleic acid present in gene are:thymine found in the DNA and uracil found in the RNA.
