    IV Nucleic Acids: The _______________ Molecules of

    Life
    • The ___________ material, so it is found in every living thing.
    • Two types:
    o Deoxyribonucleic acid or _____________.
    o Ribonucleic Acid or _________________.

    A) Structure:
    • Made of polymers (many subunits) of _____________.
    • A nucleotide is made up of:
    • ___________________ (ribose or deoxyribose)
    • ___________________
    • ___________________

    nucleotide nucleic acid

    B) Types
    DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid
     Contains genetic info
    and is what our
    __________________
    are made of.
     Can ______________
    for cell division
     ___________________st
    randed, twisted helix

     5 carbon __________________ sugar


     Nitrogen bases are attached to the ___________
     ______________ pairs are connected with H-bonds

    RNA - ribonucleic acid


     _________________ stranded
     contains A, G, C, U
     The ___________ replaces _______________.
     5 carbon ______________ sugar
     acts as a _________________ – carries info from
    DNA to organelles for _____________ production.

    So why aren’t nucleic acids part of our nutrient


    groups?
    Everything we eat contains both ________ and ___________. Our body
    breaks these polymers up into their subunits, RNA and DNA ___________.
    They are as ________________ as any nutrient but as long as we are
    eating material that was once ______________, we do not have to worry
    about whether we are getting these molecules.

    Dehydration Synthesis and Hydrolysis

    Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids are all
