1. DNA RNA The polymer name of nucleic acids is nucleic acids

2. Elements that make up nucleic acids Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Phosphorus

3. The monomers of nucleic acids are called nucleotides

4. There are 4 nucleotides DNA Adinine Thymine Cytosine Guanine

5. Main function of two types of Nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonucle ic acid) Stores genetic information that is essential for all cellular activities RNA (ribonucleic acid) Protein synthesis (making new proteins)

6. Where is DNA located in cells? of Eukaryotic cells Have DNA in Their nucleus. Prokaryotic cells DNA is loose in the cytoplasm

7. We recycle the DNA in foods we eat. It is broken down into its basic parts and reused, like legos. DNA is easy to extract from non-cooked foods All living things have DNA

8. DNA can be extracted from unprocessed foods.

9. A monomer of nucleic acid consists of a sugar a nitrogen base and a Phospate group monomer

10. A section of DNA that codes for a specific Protein. There is a different code for each protein (which amino acids are used and in what order) Proteins determine traits like eye color or shape of ear Genes can be copied

11. Do all living organisms have DNA? yes
