BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids contain the same elements as proteins: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen; plus phosphorous (C, H, O, N, and P). Nucleic acids are very large macromolecules composed of repetitive units of the same building blocks, nucleotides, similar to a pearl necklace made of many pearls.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids include DNA and RNA. A nitrogenous base, phosphate, and the sugar pentose make up nucleic acids. Phosphorus is found in both DNA and RNA, as it is the nucleic acid’s backbone. The presence of phosphoric acid causes nucleic acids to be acidic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acids include RNA (ribonucleic acid) as well as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Both types of nucleic acids contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic acids are made of nitrogen-containing bases, phosphate groups, and sugar molecules. Each type of nucleic acid has a distinctive structure and plays a different role in our cells.
