Nucleic Acids
Functions of Nucleic Acids
Contain genetic materialNucleic acids hold information that our body uses to make proteins
Monomers of Nucleic Acids
NUCLEOTIDES are the monomers of nucleic acids
Nucleotides are made of…
1 phosphate 1 sugar 1 nitrogen base
What is the monomer of nucleic acids?NucleotidesWhat are the parts of a nucleotide?Phosphate, Sugar, Nitrogenous Base
QUICK CHECKS
Examples of nucleic acids
DNA(double helix)
RNA(single strand)
What do nucleic acids do for our bodies?Store genetic material, help make proteins
QUICK CHECKS
Independent Practice
What is the monomer of a lipid? Why do large groups of lipids form? Are lipids polymers? Why or why not? What is the monomer of a nucleic acid? What are the three parts of the nucleic
acid monomer? What do nucleic acids do for our bodies?
