Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbohydrates are not directly converted to nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides, which are made up of a sugar molecule (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. While sugars are a component of nucleotides, they are not synthesized directly from dietary carbohydrates. ATP production, lipogenesis, amino acid synthesis, and glycogenesis are all fates of carbohydrates taken into the body.
