1 Name Date Hour Notes: Unit 1—Nucleic Acid

2 (1) What is a nucleic acid? Type of Biomolecule Means: Acid stored in the nucleus –Not all organisms store their nucleic acid in a nucleus –Eukaryotic = Nucleic Acid in Nucleus –Prokaryotic = Nucleic Acid NOT IN Nucleus

3 (2) Elements Carbon (C) Hydrogen (H) Oxygen (O) Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P)

4 (3) Monomer Nucleic Acid Monomer: –Nucleotide

5 (4) Polymer Nucleic Acid Polymer: –DNA –RNA

6

7 (5) Types of Nucleic Acids DNA = DeoxyriboNucleicAcid –Double Stranded Helix –Sugar in Nucleotide = Deoxyribose –Nitrogenous Bases = A, T, G, C RNA = RiboNucleicAcid –Single Stranded Helix –Sugar in Nucleotide = Ribose –Nitrogenous Bases = A, U, G, C

8 (6) Function Major: –Contains Genetic Information & Heredity –Contains Instructions to make cells function –Contains Instructions for making Proteins Minor: –There is no MINOR function. –IT’S YOUR DNA!!

9

10 (7) Examples All living cells contain DNA! Bacteria Protozoa from Pond Water Your Cells Fruits and Vegetables DNA Requirements: –Phosphorus –Sugar –Nitrogen
