1. BELL WORK: You only need to write your answer
BELL WORK: You only need to write your answer. Which label below gives the most quick energy, with the fewest extra calories from other biomolecules? Explain your answer.
LABEL A
LABEL B

2. Bell Work 9/9
Write: “Notes” on your bell work Glue in your nucleic acid notes on page 12 and write down your essential question: “How can I describe the structure and function of nucleic acids?”

3. Standard: (9A) The student will compare the structures and functions of different types of biomolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids;
Essential Question: How do I describe the structure and function of Nucleic Acids?

Title: Nucleic Acids
Essential Question: How do I describe the structure and function of nucleic acids?
Yes, Cornell notes!

5. Glue the picture in the top left corner of your notes.
Before we begin…
Glue the picture in the top left corner of your notes.
Under the picture, write nucleotide.

6. Nucleic acids….here we go!
Structure discovery:
What elements are present in this biomolecule?
What differences do you notice compared to the other three biomolecules?

7. Structure: monomers have three parts
polymers can be double-stranded or single-stranded
contain Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus (CHONP)

8. Function:
carry and transmit genetic information in all living things
control protein synthesis
examples:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
RNA (ribonucleic acid)

9. three parts: a PHOSPHATE, a SUGAR, and a NITROGEN BASE
What do we call the pieces of a nucleic acid?
Monomer = nucleotide
three parts: a PHOSPHATE, a SUGAR, and a NITROGEN BASE
Nucleotides join together to make…
Polymer = nucleic acid

10. At the bottom of your notes, copy and answer the question below:
Burning Questions…
At the bottom of your notes, copy and answer the question below:
why don’t we see nucleic acids listed on a food label?
This is your opinion…the only wrong answer is a blank!

11. Foldable Time!!!
At the bottom of the Monomer box, write the monomer for nucleic acid.
At the bottom of the Polymer box, write the polymer for nucleic acid.
Draw an arrow from the monomer to the polymer.
On the INSIDE of the Nucleic Acids door, write TWO functions and TWO examples.
On the FRONT of the Nucleic Acids door, draw a nucleotide. Label the three parts!
