Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are found in foods such as:fruits,vegetables, foods made with sugar, grains, and different types of bread. There are two types of carbohydrates, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Normally complex carbohydrates are the healthiest ones in food. Yeast is a good example of carbohydrates, as in one of my resources it states Yeast was found in sugars, aspirin, essential oils, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acids. Due to a new study and experiment too much of these things can cause cell death. So not all carbohydrates are useful in life, though these things help if use them too much it will result in cell death and I don’t think you want that. Apoptosis is found in carbohydrates and as shown in many studies …show more content…

There are 2 types of nucleic acids:DNA and RNA. This is found in the nucleus of the cell and passes through genetics. Nucleic Acids contain phosphorus and nitrogen. The food that contain Nucleic Acids are:Livers/Organ meats, seafood, dairy products, and any types of nuts. Only nuts and dairy products are not very high in nucleic acids. In other words the function of nucleic acids are for storing genetic information that every person needs to function. Scientist say that the building blocks to nucleotides are polynucleotides which are really long chains of nucleotides. The 3 parts to a nucleic acid is 5 carbon sugars, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. Some interesting facts about Nucleic acids: Nucleic acids code your genes, they are used in protein synthesis, repair, and reproduction. A nucleotide is a double helix made of two strands of polymers. If we did not have nucleotides we would get information to our cells and we wouldn’t be able to code our genes. Another interesting fact is scientist 1st found Nucleic acids in the cell's nucleus. DNA gives kinda a blueprint off of how an organism is made in other words a genetic code. DNA and RNA are made up of Nucleic Acids, the base that make up the DNA and RNA is nucleic acids so it is important to ingest them so your cells can keep copying your
