Nucleic Acids
Nucleic AcidsElements: Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H),
Oxygen (O), PLUS Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P)
Monomer: nucleotides Ex: ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
Polymer: Nucleic AcidEx: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)
Nucleic AcidsFunction:
Store, transfer and express genetic information
Genetic Blueprint that guides Protein Construction
Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNADNA is a double helix with 2 chains of nucleotides
RNA has just one chain of nucleotides
Parts of a Nucleotide(the monomer)
Composed of 3 parts1. 5-Carbon Sugar2. Phosphate Group3. Nitrogen Base
Nucleotides (Monomer) to Nucleic Acids (Polymer)
Review: Monomers and Polymers
