What type of acid is an organic compound that is built of small units called nucleotides?
carbolic acid
citric acid
boundary acid
nucleic acid
A nucleic acid is an organic compound, such as DNA or RNA, that is built of small units called nucleotides . Many nucleotides bind together to form a chain called a polynucleotide . The nucleic acid DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of two polynucleotide chains. The nucleic acid RNA (ribonucleic acid) consists of just one polynucleotide chain.
