 WHAT IS

NUCLEIC ACID?
A nucleic acid is an organic macro molecule which it's a large organic
compound made from thousands or hundreds thousands of smaller
molecules

2 Types Of NUCLEIC ACID
1. DNA DNA 2. RNA
-in living organisms, DNA is the main component of DNA contains instructions —integrally involved in building
chromatin which will condense into familiar for: specific protein by assembling their
chromosome shape prior to cell division amino acid in the correct order
•growth
-DNA in chromosome is organized in a specific order •reproduction
•heredity
-protein are responsible for all cellular
that make up an organism genes
functions in living organisms
Which means the ability to

pass genes to offspring

Made of? The first compound is a phosphate groups which contains phosphorus

The third compound in a nucleic acid nucleotides is a weak base that
always contain nitrogen, for this reason this compound reffered to as a
What Are The Structure Of nitrogenous base.

NUCLEIC ACID?
The nucleotides in DNA contains one of four possible nitrogenous
bases. They are called adenine,thymine,cytosine or guanine.
Both DNA and RNA are made up of monomers
called nucleotides. Nucleotides in RNA also contain one of four nitrogenous bases
adenine,uracil, cytosine or guanine.
 HOW DO NUCLEOTIDES
ASSEMBLE INTO NUCLEIC ACIDS?
lThe phosphate group in one nucleotide bond
with the pentose sugar in another nucleotide.
The assembled string of nucleotides from a
nucleic acid polymer.
Both DNA and RNA have a alternating sugar
and phosphate groups.
There are differences in there overall structures
For example, RNA is a single stranded nucleic acid
While DNA is a double stranded nucleic acid.
The two strands in DNA are linked by hydrogen bonds
that connects the nitrogenous bases from one strand to the
nitrogenous bases from the other strand
IN SUMMARY:
• organic macro molecules
•2 types- DNA and RNA
• DNA and RNA used to transmit heredity and help build proteins
•CHONP
• nucleotides monomers that bond together to form DNA and RNA
• 3 compounds in nucleotides - phosphate groups, 5 carbon sugar (PENTOSE),
nitrogenous bases.
• DNA nitrogenous bases are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine
• RNA nitrogenous bases are adenine,uracil, cytosine and guanine.
