Summary Introduction

To determine:

The area where nucleic acid digestion occurs.

Introduction:

Nucleic acids are a polymer of the nucleotides. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are two types of nucleic acids. The monomer units of nucleic acids are made up of a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base, and sugar. They are digested as essential molecules by some specific enzymes of the digestive system.
