What else can I help you with?
Any compound either RNA or DNA whose molecules are made up of one or two chains of nucleotides and carry genetic information?
Nucleic acid
What do molecules contain?
DNA contains nitrogenous base pairs (purines and pyrimidines), along with deoxyribose sugar, nucleosides and nucleotides.
What is a molecule made up of subunits called nucleotides?
A molecule made up of subunits called nucleotides is known as a nucleic acid. The two primary types of nucleic acids are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). Nucleotides, the building blocks of these molecules, consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. These nucleic acids play crucial roles in storing and transmitting genetic information in living organisms.
Is nucleic acid considered a macromolecule?
Yes. Proteins are macromolecules. A macromolecule simply is a larger molecule made of many smaller molecules. There are four types of macromolecules a) Proteins are composed of amino acids b) Carbohydrates are made of sugars c) Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides. RNA is made of ribonucleotides and DNA is made of Deoxyribonucleotides d) Lipids are made of glycerol linked to one, two or three fatty acids
How do you describe the basic structure of the DNA molecules?
DNA is composed of two strands of DNA nucleotides, arranged into a double helix, often referred to as a twisted ladder. The sides of the ladder are composed of alternating deoxyribose sugar molecules and phosphate molecules, and the rungs of the ladder are the pairs of nitrogen bases. The two strands of DNA nucleotides are held together by hydrogen bonds which form between the paired nitrogen bases.
Organic compound whose molecules are made up of one or two chains of nucleotides?
nucleic acids
Any compound either RNA or DNA whose molecules are made up of one or two chains of nucleotides and carry genetic information?
Nucleic acid
DNA molecules has how many strands?
DNA molecules have two strands that are twisted together to form a double helix structure. Each strand is made up of a sequence of nucleotides containing genetic information.
Name of substance that DNA is composed of?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double stranded polynucleotide. It is made of two anti-parallel strands of many individual units called nucleotides joined together. The nucleotides themselves consist of a phosphate group, a pentose sugar (in the nucleotides of DNA the pentose sugar present is deoxyribose) and a nitrogenous base (in the nucleotides of DNA the bases are adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine).

What are two larger molecules made from glucose?
Glucose+glucose=a disaccharide called "maltose" Glucose+lots more glucose=a polysaccharide called "starch"
Are water molecules larger than iodine molecules?
No. Iodine molecules are much larger in a molecular scale. This is due to the number of shells (6 shells) that iodine possess, making it an extremely large element, and its existence as I2 in nature makes it even larger. Water is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, making it relatively smaller in comparison.
What is added to each side of the ladder after a DNA molecule splits?
complementary nucleotides
What is an organic compound either RNA or DNA whose molecules are made up of one or two chains of nucleotides and carry genetic information?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is an organic compound made up of two chains of nucleotides that carries genetic information in cells. Each nucleotide in DNA consists of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine).
What is an addition reaction?
Where two or more molecules are combined to form a larger one.
