Nucleic Acids
Are composed of hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and carbon
Made up of monomers called nucleotides
P = Phosphate GroupS= 5 Carbon Sugar (ribose or deoxyribose)B= Nitrogen Base

Nucleic Acid Functions
There are three main functions of nucleic acids:
1. Store genetic information2. Transfer genetic information3. Energy transfer

Nucleic Acids
There are two main types of nucleic acids:
(1) ribonucleic acid (RNA) (2) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
Contains a different sugar group (ribose)
Single strand of nucleotides that forms a single helix
Functions to transfer information from the DNA to the ribosomes
- carries a protein recipe to the ribosome
-ribosomes are structures in a cell that make protein

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Contains the sugar deoxyribose
2 chains of nucleotides held
together by bonds Forms a double helix DNA stores hereditary
information - recipes for the proteins found in the cell’s nucleus
