Nucleic acids are the building blocks of DNA and RNA.
The five nucleic acids are:
- 3 pyrimidine bases: Cytosine and Thymine (or Uracil in RNA)
next to
- 2 purine bases: Adenine and Guanine.
None of them contains an amino group which is essential in protein formation of amino acids.

How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.
Do proteins encode nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids encode proteins.
Are enzymes all nucleic acids?
No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.
What are the four main classes of macromolecules?
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, and Proteins.
What are the four classes of macromolecules and their importance?
CARBOHYDRATES- polymers of sugars LIPIDS- polymers of fatty acids PROTEINS- polymers of amino acids NUCLEIC ACIDS- polymers of nucleotides

nucleic acids
Are enzymes all nucleic acids?
No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No. Amino acids are monomers of proteins and nucleic acids is a macromolecule.
What are the 4 major classes of biomolecules?
Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, and Carbohydrates.
Are Both DNA and RNA are proteins?
No. Instead, these are considered nucleic acids. Proteins are made up of sequence of amino acids and nucleic acids are made up of phosphate group, nitrogen base, and a pentose.
