Nucleic Acids

Nucleic Acids Are composed of hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and carbon Made up of monomers called nucleotides P = Phosphate Group S= 5 Carbon Sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) B= Nitrogen Base

Nucleic Acid Functions There are three main functions of nucleic acids: 1. Store genetic information 2. Transfer genetic information 3. Energy transfer

Nucleic Acids There are two main types of nucleic acids: (1) ribonucleic acid (RNA) (2) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Contains a different sugar group (ribose) Single strand of nucleotides that forms a single helix Functions to transfer information from the DNA to the ribosomes - carries a protein recipe to the ribosome -ribosomes are structures in a cell that make protein

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Contains the sugar deoxyribose 2 chains of nucleotides held together by bonds Forms a double helix DNA stores hereditary information - recipes for the proteins found in the cell’s nucleus

DNA vs. RNA RNA DNA Double stranded Sugar–Deoxyribose Sugar Nitrogen Bases- Adenine Thymine Guanine Cytosine Single strand Sugar– Ribose Sugar Nitrogen Bases- Adenine Uracil Guanine Cytosine
