1 Subunits is a nucleotide Contains C, H, O, N, and P
Nucleic Acids Subunits is a nucleotide Contains C, H, O, N, and P Function store & retrieve heritable information Examples: DNA, RNA, & ATP

2 Nucleotides Function Subunits energy carriers chemical messengers
Adenine (a base) Function energy carriers chemical messengers building blocks of nucleic acids & coenzymes Subunits 1 sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) 1 phosphate group 1 nitrogen containing base Phosphate group Deoxyribose sugar

3 Examples of Nucleotides
ATP: adenosine triphosphate 3 phosphate groups attached to sugar ATP is an energy carrier important to metabolism

4 Single strand of RNA Nitrogen Base base phosphate connected by covalent bond sugar

5 DNA

6 Flipbook: Nucleic Acid
Complete Questions first Cut and glue the nucleic acid parts off of the lipid page. Glue and label the parts of a nucleotide together on reverse side of lipid page.
