Nucleic Acid contains mostly the same element as proteins. It contains hydrogen (1), carbon (6) nitrogen (7), oxygen (8), and  phosphorous (15).

# data[].attributes.body
The functions of Nucleic Acids are the storage and expression of biological and genetic information like DNA and RNA. DNA encodes the information for the cell to make proteins and RNA takes part in protein synthesis. Both DNA and RNA contain a five-carbon sugar backbone, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate group.

Nucleic acids are a very stable protein which is why it is able to convey genetic information to one cell from another with ease. Nucleic acids are used to transmit and encode biological and genetic information but they can also create it. Nucleic acids can also travel inside and outside of the Nucleus; mRNA is a version of the RNA gene that is able to leave the nucleus during protein synthesis, a ribosome moves along mRNA, reads its base sequence, and uses its genetic code to then translate each three-base triplet/Condon into its corresponding amino acid.  Nucleic acids make us humans the way we are.

Nucleic Acids are giant biomolecules made of monomers called nucleotides. A nucleotide is made up of a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil), a phosphate group (PO3−4), and a 5-carbon sugar.

As you can see the phosphate, base, and ribose, look very different in the way they are formed and the way they look.

7. How can knowledge about the macromolecules we put into our body affect our health and nutrition?

# data[].attributes.body
If you know what macromolecules you need, and you know what types of acids and stuff to initiate them they can be helpful to your wellbeing. For instance, protein can help build muscle, fat can be added if someone is underweight or regulated if someone is overweight or if you just want to get in shape. Many bodybuilders use knowledge about macromolecules to help monitor their nutrition and make them stronger. Nucleic acids affect our bodies by inducing our genetic information. Our parents inherit genes from their ancestors and pass them down to us.

# data[].attributes.body
Everything living thing is made of  DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic acid) So that means that all living things are made of Nucleic acids. Which is important because they are the things that know how to create protein in a plant or animal. Foods that are high in Nucleic Acids are typically foods that grow quickly like spinach, seeds and grains. To keep up with the quick production

6. Results of not getting enough nucleic acids, and too many.

# data[].attributes.body
If you do not get enough nucleic acids, you may get diseases such as Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, Hereditary Xanthinuria, Orotic Aciduria and Hypouricemia. If you get too many some of the results will be such as ageing and age-related degenerative disorders, cancer; acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, severe trauma and autoimmune disorders. Nucleic acids also allow humans and organisms to follow genetic instructions. They also allow offspring to be passed down. Without enough nucleic acids, there is no way to transmit information and produce a human or organism.
