1 Nucleic Acids

2 Function Makes up genetic information in all living things Allows organisms to transfer genetic information from one generation to the other

3 Nucleotides in long chains
Monomer Nucleotides in long chains

4 Examples DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): genetic information RNA (ribonucleic acid): protein synthesis

5 Structure Pentose sugar DNA is a double helix RNA has one strand

6 Base Pairs DNA RNA Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G)
Adenine (A) Uracil (U) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G)

7 Elements CHONP Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Phosphorus
