3. What elements are Nucleic Acids composed of?
Carbon (C)
Hydrogen (H)
Oxygen(O)
Nitrogen (N)
Phosphorous (P)

4. Function in living organisms
Stores and transmits hereditary and genetic information.
Designed to be easily copied for cell reproduction.

5. Nucleic Acid Monomers (Building Blocks)
Nucleotides are the building blocks (or monomers) that make up most nucleic acids.
Nucleotides consist of 3 parts.
sugar(pentose) + nitrogenous base + phosphate

8. Three main types of nucleic acids
Nucleic Acid Polymers
Three main types of nucleic acids
RNA = Ribonucleic acid
Is single stranded genetic information inside the nucleus of cells

9. Nucleic Acid Polymers ATP is used as energy for the cell
Three main types of nucleic acids
ATP = Adenosine triphosphate
ATP has a slightly different structure than DNA and RNA.
It contains a base + sugar + three phosphates
ATP is used as energy for the cell
