BELLWORKOBJ: SWBAT COMPARE & CONTRAST DNA WITH RNA

1. What does DNA stand for?

2. Based on your answer to #1, predict what RNA stands for?

3. Do all living things have DNA, why or why not?

4. What other materials will you bring tomorrow to put on your science fair poster?

Take out your slates

If you do not bring sci. fair board materials tomorrow:

-if you have already built your FINAL board, you may work on other classwork.

-if it is ‘at home’ or you didn’t do it or have it: you will help clean up the classroom and do any menial tasks I have for you.

RNA & Central Dogma

Look at the compare/contrast RNA and DNA diagram in front of you. With your partner write down at least 3 differences and 3 similiarities between DNA and RNA on your slate.

Think: Why might these differences exist?

DNA vs RNA

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

•How many nucleotides?

•3 parts of a nucleotide?

•What does the “B” stand for?

DNA vs RNA

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

•How many nucleotides?

•3 parts of a nucleotide?

•What does the “B” stand for?

Ribonucleic Acid

What’s the

difference?

OH!

Remember this?

Structure is related

to function!

What are DNA’s 2 functions?

RNA Structure Notes•RIBOSE is the sugar in RNA nucleotides (instead of deoxyribose)

RNA Structure Notes•RIBOSE is the sugar in RNA nucleotides (instead of deoxyribose)

•Uracil (U) is used instead of T

RNA Structure Notes•RIBOSE is the sugar in RNA nucleotides (instead of deoxyribose)

•Uracil (U) is used instead of T

•RNA is usually single-stranded

Do the RNA complement for the bottom DNA strand

AGUUCGA

DNA vs RNARNA has

a different structure

… predict

it’s functions (jobs)

Hint: other names for RNA

messenger RNA

ribosomal RNA

transfer RNA

Central Dogma (“Big Idea”) of Biology

DNA

RNA

Protein

DNA stores

information to run

cell

Proteins

actually DO the

work in the cell

RNA’s function

is to make

proteins!

Why are proteins so important? Proteins are made of tiny subunits…what

are they called?

What are some functions of proteins? (Hint: ) Chemical Reactions (enzymes) Immune System (antibodies) Growth & Development (hormones) etc.

Types of RNA mRNA: messenger RNA makes a copy

(message) of the information stored in DNA & moves the info out of the nucleus! (DNA doesn’t leave nucleus)

Codons are 3 letter “words” that make up the message- it’s a recipe for a protein

Types of RNA rRNA: ribosomal RNA folds into a

ribosome which reads the mRNA codons and connects amino acids into a chain that will become a proteinrRNA folds into 2

subunits (large & small) Together, they

make the ribosome!

Realistic image of rRNA folded

into a ribosome

Types of RNA tRNA: transfer RNA transports amino

acids to the ribosome, and uses an anti-codon to match the correct amino acid to the correct mRNA codon. It then transfers amino acids to the growing chain.tRNA is

T-shaped!

each is related to protein synthesis
