E.Q. What are the components of DNA? p26 10/6 Monomer = Nucleotide Polymer = Nucleic acid Phosphate Sugar (deoxyribose) Nitrogenous Base DNA!!

Cell Membrane
4
Molecule Movement
5
Carbs, Lipids, and Proteins Also used as energy from food
6
Nucleus
7
A lesson from Jurassic Park...

Phosphate Nitrogenous Base Sugar
13
Half a DNA Nitrogenous Base Phosphate Sugar
14
Full DNA Phosphate Nitrogenous Bases
15
DNA Double Helix Nitrogenous Base (A,T,G or C) “Rungs of ladder” “Legs of ladder” Phosphate & Sugar Backbone
16
For Thursday: A HISTORY OF DNA DNA double helix Discovery of the DNA double helix A.Rosalind Franklin - X-ray photo of DNA. (1952) B.Watson and Crick - described the DNA molecule from Franklin’s X-ray. (1953)
17
Nitrogenous Base
18
Nitrogenous Bases PURINES PURINES Adenine (A) 1.Adenine (A) Guanine (G) 2.Guanine (G) PYRIMIDINES PYRIMIDINES Thymine (T) 3.Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) 4.Cytosine (C) T or C A or G
19
Adenine Thymine Adenine must pair with Thymine GuanineCytosine Guanine must pair with Cytosine about the same Their amounts in a given DNA molecule will be about the same. G C TA The apple grows on the tree! The car goes in the garage!
20
Apples Grow on Trees Adenine to Thymine
21
Cars go in Garages Cytosine to Guanine

23
The differently shaped bases are bonded together antiparallel to one another (5’ 3’)antiparallel DNA ladder will twist into a double helix shape

Antiparallel
25
Important to Remember: All living things have DNA! Scientists refer to this as a “common genetic code” The sequence of bases matters! The order determines the organism.
