Nucleic Acids

The Nucleic Acid Monomer is ...

• Glucose

• Ribosomes

• Nucleotides( Nucleotide bases)

• Amino Acids

There are 2 types of Nucleic Acids they are ..

• Fatty Acid and Citric Acid

• DNA and RNA

• Ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Thymine and Uracil

One of the functions of DNA is

• Storage for energy

• Used to make strong bones

• Contains the genetic material for reproduction.

• Acts as a gatekeeper to determine what may and may not enter the cell.

Nucleic Acids are made from the following elements:

• C, H, O, N, P

• C, H, O, N

• C, H, O

• H2O

This form of Nucleic Acid is especially vulnerable to UV light.

• DNA

• RNA

• Uracil

• Cytosine

Where in the cell is DNA located?

• Ribosomes

• Mitochondria and Nucleus

• Golgi Apparatus and Nucleus

• RER and Ribosomes

Where in the cell will you find RNA?

• Mitochondria

• Cell Membrane aka Plasma Membrane

• Nucleolus, Ribosomes, RER

• RER, Mitochondria

This nucleic acid BUILDS proteins.

• RNA

• DNA

• Cytosine and Uracil

• Thymine, Adenine

DNA is composed of 4 nucleotide bases. They are

• Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine, Uracil

• Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine, Thymine

• Glycerol, Lycine, Histadine, Isoluecine

• Asparagine, Glutamine, Cysteine, Glycine

RNA has all of the same bases as DNA except 1. RNA has

• Uracil

• Thymine

• Adenine

• Guanine
