    Nucleic acids are important biomolecules in human beings. There are two main types of nucleic acids: DNA and RNA. Nucleic acids are polymers composed of nucleotides, which contain a phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. This experiment aims to identify nucleic acids through a series of tests, including hydrolysis, and tests for purines, pentoses, and phosphates. Hydrolysis breaks down the nucleic acid into its component nucleotides. It is performed by heating the sample in the presence of acid.
