The molecules that form life Nucleic Acids

Vocabulary Nucleic Acid Nucleotide DNA RNA

Characteristics of Nucleic Acids Consist of: Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Carries Information Directs protein synthesis

The two nucleic acids: DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid Stores information to make proteins RNA – ribonucleic acid Carries information from DNA to the protein making ribosomes.

Building Blocks of Nucleic Acids Nucleotide Made of: Phosphate Pentose Sugar Nitrogenous Base

Polymerization Chains of nucleotides bonded by dehydration synthesis form a code. DNA – millions of nucleotides long. RNA –hundreds to thousands of nucleotides long.

Vocabulary Nucleic Acid – complex life -information carrying molecule Nucleotide – monomer of nucleic acid DNA – stores information for making proteins RNA- uses DNA information to synthesize proteins.
