Nucleic Acids The FINAL Biomolecule
6.3 Section Summary 6.3 – pages 157-163 The structure of nucleic acids A nucleic (noo KLAY ihk) acid contains all cellular information (genetics) in the form of a code. This means… Nucleic acids contain directions to make proteins. 6.3 Section Summary 6.3 – pages 157-163
Nucleic Acids will have carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphate. CHONP!
Do this on your notes…. Outline the ring in red. Circle the C, H, O in green. Circle the N in orange. Circle the P in blue. This is a 5-ring carbohydrate. You can’t see the “Carbons”, but they are at each point on the pentagon.
6.3 Section Summary 6.3 – pages 157-163 The structure of nucleic acids Nucleotides are the monomers (subunits) of nucleic acids. When they are added together, they will build a nucleic acid. Arranged in three parts—a simple sugar (red) , nitrogenous base (blue, and phosphate group(green). Phosphate Sugar Nitrogenous base Label the picture in your notes 6.3 Section Summary 6.3 – pages 157-163
6.3 Section Summary 6.3 – pages 157-163 Can you think of any examples of nucleic acid in your body? Where are they located? Answer in your notes in a blank space. Add to notes: Everytime we eat something that was once living (an ANIMAL or PLANT) we are taking in nucleic acids, their DNA 6.3 Section Summary 6.3 – pages 157-163
ATP Adenosine Triphosphate Gives our cells the ENERGY they need
6.3 Section Summary 6.3 – pages 157-163 The structure of nucleic acids DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid is a nucleic acid. RNA, which stands for ribonucleic acid is a nucleic acid. ATP, the molecule that provides our cells with ENERGY is a nucleic acid. 6.3 Section Summary 6.3 – pages 157-163
20 minutes What you don’t finish is homework. Work Time #2 Create foldable so that it has 3 sections. Front: Nucleic Acids (polymer) are made of nucleotides (monomer) 3 types: DNA, RNA, and ATP Top side: DNA Middle: ATP Bottom side: RNA Use power point notes on Moodle to help you fill in your foldable. Draw a picture. On the inside, for EACH YOU NEED: Picture Function Other important information (On the ATP side include the ATP-ADP cycle in your foldable notes) Glue foldable on page ___.
