1 Biochemistry: Nucleic Acids

2 Nucleic Acids Complex polymer that stores information in cells in the form of a code. Monomers (basic building blocks): nucleotides, which contain C, H, O, N, & P These elements are arranged in 3 groups: nitrogen base, simple sugar, & a phosphate group

3 Nucleic Acids

4 2 Types of nucleic acids:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains all the instructions for an organism’s development…AKA genetic information Double stranded molecule

5 2. RNA (ribonucleic acid) forms a copy of DNA and is used for protein synthesis (production)
Single stranded molecule

6 Nucleic acid structure
