Nucleic Acids are important to my life because the DNA segments contain genetic information for all living organisms. If we did not have nucleic acids in our bodies, we could not reproduce or pass our genetic information on to our children. Two interesting facts about nucleic acids are: Nucleic acids main functions are to store and transfer genetic information and to use the genetic information to direct the synthesis of new protein.
Lipids elements are C, H, and O. The different types of lipids are simple lipids or homolipids, compound lipids or heterolipids, and derived lipids. Three examples of lipids are: fatty acids, waxes, and oils. Lipids contain essential fatty acids that play an important role in pain, fever, and blood clotting.
