1 Organic Molecules Nucleic Acids 2-3

2 What organic molecule contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and PHOSPHORUS ?
Nucleic Acids

3 What are the two major roles of Nucleic Acids?
Heredity Transfer of traits from parents to offspring Protein synthesis Provides directions for assembling amino acids into proteins.

4 What is the subunit of nucleic acids?
Nucleotide

5 Diagram of a Nucleotide subunit: (composed of 3 parts)
Phosphate group Base C C 5 Carbon Sugar

6 DNA RNA Two Kinds of Nucleic Acids
What nucleic acid has a double helix structure and is found in the nucleus of cells? DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) What nucleic acid assembles amino acids into proteins? RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)

7 What is the name for the energy molecule, a single nucleotide with two extra phosphate groups?
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)

8 Diagram of ATP: ATP = the energy molecule Adenosine Tri/phophate
3 phosphates =
