1 Store and transmit hereditary and genetic information.
Nucleic Acids Store and transmit hereditary and genetic information.

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

3 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

4 Nucleic Acid Monomers (Building Blocks)
Draw a Nucleotide

5 Nucleic Acid Polymers Three main types of nucleic acids
DNA = Deoxyribonucleic acid Instructions which code for protein synthesis

6 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

7 ATP is used as energy for the cell
Nucleic Acid Polymers 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
