NUCLEIC ACIDS
Naturally occurring chemical
compound that is capable of
being broken down to yield
phosphoric acid, sugars, and
a mixture of organic bases
(purines and pyrimidines).
NUCLEIC ACIDS
Main information-carrying
molecules of the cell, and, by
directing the process of protein
synthesis, they determine the
inherited characteristics of every
living thing.

Varying Food Intake
■ Different foods provide
different types and
amounts of key nutrients,
it is important to choose
a variety of foods from
within each food group.
Nutrients
■ These are carbohydrates,
proteins, fats, vitamins,
minerals, and water.

Respiration
is defined as a metabolic process
wherein, the living cells of an
organism obtains energy (in the
form of ATP) by taking in oxygen
and liberating carbon dioxide from
the oxidation of complex organic
substances.
Internal
Respiration
is the process of diffusing oxygen
from the blood, into the interstitial
fluid and into the cells. Waste and
carbon dioxide are also diffused the
other direction, from the cells to
the blood.
