(PO4)• Nitrogenous base
(ring structure, contains C,N,H)

Nucleotides join together in long chains called nucleic acids
The two important nucleic acids in cells are DNA and RNA

• Double stranded• Sugar is deoxyribose• 4 nitrogen bases:
adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine (A,T,C,G)
• Complementary base pairing - Hydrogen bonds form between A & T, C &G
• The two strands are “antiparallel” – oriented in opposite directions

The DNA molecule forms a double helix (“twisted ladder”)
“rungs” are base pairs, connected by hydrogen bonds
Sides are alternating sugar – phosphate groups

Single stranded Sugar is ribose 4 nitrogen bases - adenine,
uracil, cytosine, guanine (A,U,C,G)

DNA stores genetic material in the nucleus (instructions for protein synthesis)
RNA functions in protein synthesis (decoding DNA) in the nucleus and cytoplasm (ribosomes)
Together they determine the primary structure of all proteins made in the body

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - a special nucleotide found in all cells
Adenine base, ribose, 3 phosphate groups
![Page 18: B4 - analyse the structure and function of nucleic acids Recognize structural diagrams of: DNA, RNA, ATP List the functions of DNA and RNA Describe](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ee45503460f94bf3148/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ATP is the “energy molecule” produced during cellular respiration used whenever energy is required
![Page 19: B4 - analyse the structure and function of nucleic acids Recognize structural diagrams of: DNA, RNA, ATP List the functions of DNA and RNA Describe](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ee45503460f94bf3148/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ATP contains high energy bonds between the phosphate groups
Energy is released when the bonds are broken
ADP is produced when 1 phosphate is removed
![Page 20: B4 - analyse the structure and function of nucleic acids Recognize structural diagrams of: DNA, RNA, ATP List the functions of DNA and RNA Describe](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ee45503460f94bf3148/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ATP + H2O ↔ ADP + phosphate + energy This energy can be used for many different cell / body functions (examples?) ATP / ADP are continuously recycled in cells
