1 Nucleic Acids Objective:
B2 - Compare the structures & functions of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, & nucleic acids & their organization into long complex molecules

2 DNA polymer Function: Store and transmit genetic information for making proteins Consist of: Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, NITROGEN, and PHOSPHOROUS

3 Building Blocks of Nucleic Acids
(monomers) Nucleotides, which are made of … 5 carbon sugar Phosphate group Nitrogenous base

4 Examples of Nucleic Acids
DNA (Double stranded) Deoxyribose Nitrogen Bases: A, T, C, G RNA (Single stranded) Ribose Nitrogen Bases: A, U, C, G

5 Practice: What is this monomer called? Nucleotide

6 Stores and transmits genetic information
What is the function of nucleic acids? Stores and transmits genetic information

7 What sugar does RNA have?
ribose

8 Which macromolecule does ribose and deoxyribose belong to?
Carbohydrate
