AP Biology Biochemistry: Macromolecules Part 3
2
DNA vs. RNA nucleotides Remember, DNA is long term; RNA is temporary
3
Nucleic Acids (DNA)
4
Nucleic Acids (RNA)
5
Nucleotides
6
Complimentary Base Pairing
7
See the HYDROGEN bonds? Remember, these are very important bonds.
8
Nucleotide sequence is important! Remember, DNA will make proteins.
9
Dehydration and Hydrolysis Reactions
Short polymer Unlinked monomer Dehydration removes a water molecule, forming a new bond Longer polymer Dehydration reaction in the synthesis of a polymer Hydrolysis adds a water molecule, breaking a bond Hydrolysis of a polymer

5th Carbon of the Sugar holds the phosphate
5th Carbon of the Sugar holds the phosphate. 3rd Carbon is the open bond. Phosphate of the next nucleotide bonds at the 3rd carbon.
