1 Biomolecules The Chemistry of Life

2 Nucleic Acids Functions: Stores genetic information Helps make protein
Structure: Double or single stranded chains of nucleotides. Monomer: Nucleotide: Nitrogenous base 5-Carbon Sugar Phosphate Group Example:(Only 2 types) DNA- Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid RNA- Ribose Nucleic Acid Polymer: DNA & RNA Phosphate Base Most important Sugar Varies between nucleotides 4 different types of bases Nucleic Acids

3 Nucleic Acids

4 Answer all of the left side questions for Nucleic Acids.

5 Folded chains of amino acids
Functions: Regulates enzymes Structural components in cells Used to form muscles & bones Cell Signaling Last-resort for energy Structure: Folded chains of amino acids Monomer: Amino acids Example: Beans, meats, eggs, nuts Polymer: Poly-peptide chain or also called proteins R- Group Amino Group Carboxyl Group Proteins
