Nucleic Acids

What is a Nucleic Acid Nucleic acids are made of the following elements: C, H, O, N, P (Phosphorus) Nucleotides are the monomers of DNA and RNA Nucleic acids end in “ine” ex. Adenine

Structure of Nucleic Acids The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides The polymers of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA

Structure of Nucleic Acids cont. Nucleotides look like the following: Each contain a: Phosphate group 5 carbon sugar(pentagon) Nitrogenous base

5 carbon Sugars

Structure of Nucleic Acids cont. 4 main types of nitrogenous bases: Guanine Cytosine Adenine Thymine (uracil in RNA)

How Nucleic Acids work Nucleotides connect together in specific sequences to transmit information. Certain nucleotides ALWAYS bind together (Cytosine + Guanine, Adenine + Thymine(uracil))

Nucleic acids are found in DNA and RNA

Function of Nucleic Acids DNA and RNA are essential for transmitting genetic information in all life forms
