Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Phosphorus

3. The monomers of nucleic acids
are called nucleotides

4. There are 4 nucleotides DNA
Adinine Thymine
Cytosine Guanine

5. Main function of two types of Nucleic acids
RNA (ribonucleic acid)
Protein synthesis
(making new
proteins)
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
Stores genetic information that is essential for all cellular activities

6. Where is DNA located in cells? of
Eukaryotic cells
Have DNA in
Their nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells
DNA is loose in the cytoplasm

7. All living things have DNA
We recycle the DNA in foods we eat. It is broken down into its basic parts and reused, like legos.
DNA is easy to extract from non-cooked foods

8. DNA can be extracted from unprocessed foods.

9. A monomer of nucleic acid consists of a sugar a nitrogen base and a
Phospate group
monomer

10. Genes A section of DNA that codes for a specific Protein.
There is a different code for each protein
(which amino acids are used and in what order)
Proteins determine traits like eye color or shape of ear
Genes can be copied

11. Do all living organisms have DNA?
yes
