Regents Biology Nucleic Acids Information storage
3
Regents Biology Nucleic Acid Functions Function #1: stores genetic material genes DNA proteins Function #2: transfer genetic material
4
Regents Biology Nucleic Acids Only 2 Types of Nucleic Acids: DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid) RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)
5
Regents Biology Nucleic Acids are made from Nucleotides 3 parts to every nucleotide: nitrogen base pentose sugar (5C) ribose in RNA deoxyribose in DNA Phosphate group (PO 4 )
6
Regents Biology 5 different nucleotides different nitrogen bases adenine thymine cytosine guanine uracil nucleotide – nucleotide – nucleotide – nucleotide phosphate sugar N base Nitrogen bases I’m the A,T,C,G or U part! Nucleic Acids are made from Nucleotides
7
Regents Biology phosphate sugar N base phosphate sugar N base phosphate sugar N base phosphate sugar N base 2 strands of DNA helix are complementary A – T and G – C Nucleic Acid polymer
8
Regents Biology That’s a big DNA molecule! Any questions?
