Nucleic Acids
Nucleic Acids• DNA
deoxyribonucleic acid
• RNA ribonucleic acid
Elements Nucleic Acids Contain
•C, H, O,N, P
Nucleotides: Monomers of Nucleic Acids
nitrogenous
Nucleic Acids• Sugar + phosphate + nitrogenous base
Nucleotides: 3 parts
• 5-C sugar• Phosphate Base• Nitrogenous Base A, T, C, G
Sing Along Songs - Row, Row, Row Your Boat
• We love DNA• Made of nucleotides• Sugar, Phosphate, and a base• Bonded down one side
• Adenine with thymine make a lovely pair
• Cytosine without guanine would feel very bare.
4 Nitrogenous Bases
• A = adenine• T = thymine• C = cytosine• G = guanine
Base Pairing
•A – T•C - G
RNA and DNA
• RNA is single stranded
• DNA is double stranded
SNEAK PREVIEW
• DNA molecule• Sections of it are genes• Genes are the codes that
make specific amino acids that link together to make a protein
Nucleic Acids
• Sugar + phosphate + nitrogenous base
• CHONP
Hydrogen Bonds
•Join nucleotides together
