Which of the following is true about nucleic acids? I. Nucleic acids always consist of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base,
and one or more phosphate groups. II. Both DNA, which stores genetic information and encodes protein sequences, and RNA, which is involved in the direct production of proteins, are nucleic acids. III. Nucleic acids are usually insoluble in water and are used for long term energy storage. IV. Glucose, cellulose, and starch are examples of nucleic acids found in most cells.
II. Both DNA, which stores genetic information and encodes protein sequences, and RNA, which is involved in the direct production of proteins, are nucleic acids.
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules for all living organisms. They carry genetic information and decode the production of proteins, necessary for the cell to reproduce. While they are formed of five-carbon sugars, a nitrogenous base they only have one phosphate group. They do not store energy. Also, glucose, cellulose and starch are not nucleic acids, they are carbohydrates.
Hi! <span>I. Nucleic acids always consist of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more phosphate groups. </span> <span>II.
Both DNA, which stores genetic information and encodes protein
sequences, and RNA, which is involved in the direct production of
proteins, are nucleic acids.
This gives each hydrogen atom two electrons in its outer energy level, which is full. It also gives oxygen 8 electrons in its outer energy level, which is also full.
Most ants are omnivores and are okay with eating plants, seeds, nectar, and even animals. Ants are also opportunistic in their feeding habits, which mean that they can easily adapt to the environment and will eat what they can to remain alive
