Hydrogen bonds in nucleic acids are primarily found between the complementary base pairs in the DNA double helix and within RNA structures. In DNA, adenine (A) forms two hydrogen bonds with thymine (T), while cytosine (C) forms three hydrogen bonds with guanine (G). In RNA, uracil (U) replaces thymine and pairs with adenine, also connected by two hydrogen bonds. These bonds are crucial for stabilizing the structures of nucleic acids and allowing for specific base pairing during processes like DNA replication and RNA transcription.
What else can I help you with?
What DNA belongs to the group of organic compounds known as?
The four major groups are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acid. Since DNA is made of nucleic acids on a sugar-phosphate backbone, its components would be in two categories, carbohydrates and nucleic acids.
Do peptide bond link amino acids?
Amino acids do not have hydrogen bonds. They only have an alpha corbon atom connected to 4 groups namely: Hydrogen A variable R group An amide group A carboxyl group
What happens to your body if you do not have nucleic acids in your diet and can you get any diseases?
It would be very hard to not get any nucleic acids in your diet unless you ate only foods made entirely synthetically without anything from biological origins, as all living things contain nucleic acids.Yes, without nucleic acids in your diet much of your metabolism would eventually shut down as the ATP used for energy storage is synthesized from the nucleotide adenine in nucleic acids, cell replication and tissue repair following injuries would stop as the nucleic acids needed by the new cells' chromosomes could not be made, repair to genetic damage in the chromosomes would stop resulting in many problems, etc.
How are lipids different from DNA?
No, it is not. The DNA molecule consists of two polynucleotide chains in the form of a double helix, containing phosphate and the sugar deoxyribose and linked by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine. Simply: a phosphate and the sugar deoxyribose and a base. If you tried typing the whole genetic code out (typing at 200 letters per minute), it would take 29 years (without taking any breaks!).
What is the dense portion of some cell containing nucleic acids acids called?
nucleus
Are nucleic acids soluble in water?
Well ATP is a nucleic acid, so the hydrolysis of ATP will be ADP. The hydrolysis of nucleic acids in general is too broad of a question. If you encounter this question in an assignment or exam, your best bet would be to say that it releases the chemical energy in the nucleic acid, thus releasing energy.
What is the name of the macromolecules that makes up DNA?
Nucleic acids.

How would you determine whether a macromolecule is a carbohydrate fat protein or nucleic acid?
To determine whether a macromolecule is a carbohydrate, fat, protein, or nucleic acid, you can analyze its structure and composition. Carbohydrates typically consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio, while fats (lipids) are made up of glycerol and fatty acids. Proteins are composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, and nucleic acids, like DNA and RNA, are made of nucleotides containing a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base. Techniques such as biochemical assays, chromatography, or spectroscopy can also assist in identification.
If you opened a virus what would you?
You would find nucleic acids and core proteins
Ketones release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water so they can be described as what?
This is not true. The hydrogen atoms of simple ketones are bound securely to the carbon atoms by covalent bonds and do not ionize in water. If it were true, you would describe them as acids, but they are not.
Can nucleic acids be detected by the ELISA format?
No, ELISA would not be able to detect the presence of nucleic acids. As ELISA uses a antibodies to detect the presence of a antigen. Hence as the nucleic acid is within the cell (nucleus), the antibody used does not attach themselves to the nucleic acid but to the antigen.
What is the monomeric unit for nucleic acids?
It would be a nucleotide. Either thymine, cytosine, alanine, guanine, or uracil.

What type of bond is found in all biological macromolecules?
depends on the macromolecule. the broad category would be "covalent bonds" ... but there are sort of subcategories... like, proteins are joined with peptide bonds (which occur through dehydrogenation - removal of a water molecule) protein folding is also a function of hydrogen bonding. long chain polycarbons are just covalently bound (carbon-carbon bonds) could be double or single bonds depending on degree of saturation
