Yes. Nucleic acids are long polymers of

nucleotides that are made up of a sugar, a

base, and a phosphate group. The

components of nucleotides could be used as

nutrients.

Products derived from plants or animals that can be taken into the body to yield nutrients for the maintenance of life and the growth and repair of tissues?

These will be broken down into the basic nutrients needed: proteins, fats and carbohydrates. These simple products are further broken down to form the very basic units called amino acids, sugars, fatty acids and lipids. All things the body need can be built from these basic units.


Which other elements must your food contain so that your body can make new nucleic acids?

In addition to the basic nucleotides found in food, your body needs essential nutrients such as vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid, as well as minerals like magnesium and zinc to support the synthesis of new nucleic acids. These nutrients play vital roles in processes such as DNA replication and repair.


Do amino acids need to be digested before absorbed?

Nucleotides are to nucleic acids as amino acids are to?

An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.
