Please type in your questions. so everyone can help ya.

OpenStudy (rissyroo118):

Which of the following are examples of nucleic acids? A) Collagen and keratin B) Glucose and starch C) Saturated Fats and unsaturated fats D) DNA and RNA @KittyT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are two main types of nucleic acids - ribonucleic acids (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA). These nucleic acids are different because their five-carbon sugars are different. RNA contains ribose, and DNA contains deoxyribose. DNA and RNA also have different functions. DNA stores genetic information and encodes the sequences of all the cell's proteins whereas RNA is involved in the direct production of the proteins.

SO D? dna & rna?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm...yeah I gueess so...please double check

OpenStudy (alphadxg):

@rissyroo118 @KittyT Yes, correct. Nucleic acids, which include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), are made from monomers known as nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. If the sugar is deoxyribose, the polymer is DNA. Please give a medal if you like the response :)
