RNA & DNA
Function:
Nucleic acids make up the genetic information in living things.
Why don't Nucleic Acids Appear On the Food Pyramid?
Because they are genetic material, they are informational and are not taken into consideration into the food pyramid.
Where Do They Come From?
They are located in all living things. Also, although they are not on the food pyramid, they are still important to human development, as they are the "blueprints" of living organisms.
