1. Nucleic Acids: Dna, RNA and ATP

2. DNA/rna DNA RNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid Ribonucleic Acid
Process that makes it:
DNA replication
Transcription
Can it leave the nucleus? No
Yes
Function
Codes genetic material/instructions
Blueprint of DNA’s instructions – Takes messages to other parts of the cell
Double or single stranded?
Double
Single
Double helix?
Where its made:
Nucleus (Chromosomes)
Nucleus
Elements
C H O N P
DNA/rna

3. Nucleotide monomer Monomer: Nucleotide Elements C H O N and P
1. 5 carbon sugar (pentose sugar)
DNA = Deoxyribose
RNA = Ribose
2. Phosphate
3. Nitrogenous Base
Adenine
Guanine
Cytosine
Thymine (DNA only)
Uracil (RNA only)
Elements C H O N and P
Polymer: Nucleic Acid (DNA,RNA or ATP)

4. Base pairs RNA base pairs DNA base pairs A=U C=G A=T
In RNA, uracil replace thymine! RNA has no T, DNA has no U.
Nitrogenous Base

6. Dna structure
The phosphate and the sugar line up to make the backbone of the DNA (phosphate sugar backbone)
Hydrogen bonds link base pairs together
DNA: A=T C=G
RNA: A=U C=G

7. Pause - Think
Fill out the table on the second page without looking at your notes! Use the information you remember from what we JUST talked about.

8. Pause - Talk
Find a partner from another table, and compare and contrast what you wrote.
Correct if anything is wrong.
Between the two of you, is there something that needs more clarification by me?

9. Go back to your seat, and teach your partner.
Pause - Teach
Go back to your seat, and teach your partner.

11. ATP ATP = Adenine Tri-phosphate Used as cellular energy
Made in the Mitochondria takes glucose (sugar) to make ATP
Made in the cytoplasm during glycolysis
Similar shape to a nucleotide but it has 3 phosphates instead of one
