nuclieic acid is as small as it goes in the human digestive system i believe. that is to say, long strands of DNA are broken down to their monomers, so the sequence ACGT would be brocken down into AMP, CMP, GMP and TMP (MP meaning monophosphate).
im not 100% on it, but im pretty sure that's right.
Nucleic acids
Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides.
fat is broken down into fatty acids
They are the nucleotides . They make up nucleic acids
No. Nucleic acids encode proteins.
Yes, when amino acids are broken down through the process of deamination, they lose their amine (NH2) groups. This reaction converts the amino group into ammonia (NH3), which is then excreted from the body as waste.
Fatty acids, amino acids, and nucleic acids can increase the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution because they can release hydrogen ions when they undergo chemical reactions. For example, when fatty acids are broken down in metabolic processes, they can release hydrogen ions. Similarly, amino acids can release hydrogen ions when they lose their amino group. Nucleic acids can also release hydrogen ions when they are broken down into their constituent nucleotides.
they are more because they are
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.
lipids
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.
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.
Digestive enzymes break down nucleic acids:)
Nucleic acids
The final breakdown of carbohydrates is carried out by enzymes such as amylase, sucrase, and lactase. For amino acids, enzymes like proteases and peptidases are responsible for breaking them down into individual amino acids. Nucleic acids are broken down by enzymes known as nucleases, which break phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides.
Proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down into sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
The factor that most directly controls the rate at which food is broken down to release energy between (A) enzymes, (B) hormones, (C) nucleic acids or (D) vitamins is (A) enzymes.
