Protein and nucleic acid are both composed of amino acids.
Completely wrong! Only proteins are composed of amino acids. They have nothing in common, even their chirality is opposite (proteins are levo while nucleic acids are dextro).

What elements are key ingredients in both proteins and nucleic acids?
Proteins and nucleic acids are different molecules. Amino acids are building block of proteins whereas nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides. The elements in both are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen , nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.
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.
What are the 4 main categories of macromolecules in a cell?
Lipids carbohydrates proteins Nucleic Acids
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 classes of macromolecules?
Lipids (oils and fats), Carbohydrates [Saccharides (Sugars) and Fibers etc.), Nucleic Acids, and Proteins (You can get from Meat, Eggs, etc.)Carbohydrates (e.g. glucose, sucrose), proteins (e.g. enzymes, transporters, receptors), lipids (e.g. phospholipids, cholesterol), nucleic acids (e.g. DNA, RNA).
How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.

Are both DNA and RNA proteins?
No, they are nucleic acids.
Do proteins encode nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids encode proteins.
What elements are found in both proteins and nucleic acids?
i think its amio acids.

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.
What are the four macromolecules of life?
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What element is found in both nucleic acids and proteins?
Nitrogen
Which element is found in nucleic acids but not in proteins?
phosphorus is present in nucleic acids and not in proteins
What are the 4 main categories of macromolecules in a cell?
Lipids carbohydrates proteins Nucleic Acids
What two macromolecules are viruses composed of?
a virus and a cell only contain genetic material - got it from study island
What are the types of organic compounds?
Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
