What else can I help you with?
Is a sugar a nucleic acid?
No, although there is a sugar (pentose) in nucleic acids.
Why is nucleic acids found in all foods?
The food we eat comes from living things. All living things are composed of cells which contain the nucleic acids DNA and RNA to control the cell's activities by controlling protein synthesis.
What is a nucleic acid that contains chonp?
All nucleic acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus.
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.
Term for Nucleic acids that contain the sugar deoxyribose?
Deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) contain the sugar deoxyribose. DNA is a type of nucleic acid that stores genetic information in all living organisms.
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.
What do the nucleic acids do in the body?
The nucleic acid is a protein found in RNA and DNA to determine our genes . Edit: NUCLEIC ACIDS ARE NOT PROTEINS. Do they have amino groups? No. Are they made out of Amino acids? no. Nucleic acids are polymers which are also known as RNA and DNA. They contain all of the information of the body.
What foods contains all essential amino acids?
I believe hemp seeds contain all 9 amino-acids.
What element is found primarily in proteins and nucleic acids?
There are several elements in all proteins and all nucleic acids:Hydrogen,Carbon,Oxygen, andNitrogen.All nucleic acids also contain a lot of phosphorus and commonly proteins contain a tiny bit too, but that is not really relevant to the intention of the question.
What is a general characteristic of nucleic acids?
A general characteristic of nucleic acids is that they are the molecules responsible for carrying genetic information in all living organisms. They are composed of long chains of nucleotides, which contain a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, govern the growth, development, and functioning of all living organisms.
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.
What property do all nucleic acids have in common?
All nucleic acids have the common property of containing genetic information in the form of sequences of nucleotide bases. This information is essential for cell functioning and is used for protein synthesis and inheritance of traits.
