1 The molecules that form life
Nucleic Acids

2 Vocabulary Nucleic Acid Nucleotide DNA RNA

3 Characteristics of Nucleic Acids
Consist of: Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Carries Information Directs protein synthesis

4 The two nucleic acids: DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid
Stores information to make proteins RNA – ribonucleic acid Carries information from DNA to the protein making ribosomes.

5 Building Blocks of Nucleic Acids
Nucleotide Made of: Phosphate Pentose Sugar Nitrogenous Base

6 Polymerization Chains of nucleotides bonded by dehydration synthesis form a code. DNA – millions of nucleotides long. RNA –hundreds to thousands of nucleotides long.

7 Vocabulary Nucleic Acid – complex life -information carrying molecule
Nucleotide – monomer of nucleic acid DNA – stores information for making proteins RNA- uses DNA information to synthesize proteins.
