What is DNA and RNA?
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA consists of long chain of nucleotide units. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a deoxyribose sugar and a phosphate group. It is a genetic material that containing the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms.
RNA stands for ribonucleic acid. RNA consists of long chain of nucleotide units. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar and a phosphate group. It is found in the nucleus but mainly in the cytoplasm.
An enzyme is a protein molecule that is a biological catalyst with three characteristics. First, the basic function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction. Most cellular reactions occur about a million times faster than they would in the absence of an enzyme.
A hydrolytic enzyme is any enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of a chemical bond.
