4. Nucleic Acid Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorous Function: Carries genetic info and helps make protein Structure: “House with a balloon and a flag” (DRAW AND LABEL)
Monomer of Nucleic Acids -Nucleotide: Sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) Phosphate Nitrogen Base Polymer of Nucleic Acids -Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) -Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
Nucleotide More simplified version
RNA Sugar group= ribose Function: Helps make protein Single strand
RNA
DNA Sugar= deoxyribose Stores information to allow for protein synthesis Double strand AKA double helix
DNA
