1 Nucleic Acids Makes you unique

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

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

4 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 (2.) (1.) (3.)

5 Nucleic Acid Monomers (Building Blocks)
Draw a Nucleotide

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

7 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

8 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
