Nucleic Acids: Dna, RNA and ATP
DNA/rna DNA RNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid Ribonucleic Acid Process that makes it: DNA replication Transcription Can it leave the nucleus? No Yes Function Codes genetic material/instructions Blueprint of DNA’s instructions – Takes messages to other parts of the cell Double or single stranded? Double Single Double helix? Where its made: Nucleus (Chromosomes) Nucleus Elements C H O N P DNA/rna
Nucleotide monomer Monomer: Nucleotide Elements C H O N and P 1. 5 carbon sugar (pentose sugar) DNA = Deoxyribose RNA = Ribose 2. Phosphate 3. Nitrogenous Base Adenine Guanine Cytosine Thymine (DNA only) Uracil (RNA only) Elements C H O N and P Polymer: Nucleic Acid (DNA,RNA or ATP)
Base pairs RNA base pairs DNA base pairs A=U C=G A=T In RNA, uracil replace thymine! RNA has no T, DNA has no U. Nitrogenous Base
Dna structure The phosphate and the sugar line up to make the backbone of the DNA (phosphate sugar backbone) Hydrogen bonds link base pairs together DNA: A=T C=G RNA: A=U C=G
Pause - Think Fill out the table on the second page without looking at your notes! Use the information you remember from what we JUST talked about.
Pause - Talk Find a partner from another table, and compare and contrast what you wrote. Correct if anything is wrong. Between the two of you, is there something that needs more clarification by me?
Go back to your seat, and teach your partner. Pause - Teach Go back to your seat, and teach your partner.

ATP ATP = Adenine Tri-phosphate Used as cellular energy Made in the Mitochondria takes glucose (sugar) to make ATP Made in the cytoplasm during glycolysis Similar shape to a nucleotide but it has 3 phosphates instead of one
