Nucleic Acid Review

What is the monomer of Nucleic Acids?

• Amino acid
• Glucose
• Fatty acid chain
• Nucleotide

Which part of the DNA molecule contains information?

• the bases (the 'rungs of the ladder')
• the sugar phosphate backbone
• the 'side rails' of the 'ladder'

What elements make up Nucleic Acids?

• CHON
• CHONP
• CHO
• CHONR

Which statement is FALSE?

• DNA is a very long molecule
• DNA is made up of Nucleotide monomers
• DNA can leave the nucleus
• DNA contains the information for how to make many proteins

Which base 'letters' are paired correctly?

• A-G, C-T
• T-G, A-C
• A-T, C-G
• any base letter can match with any other base letter

What is the function of Nucleic Acids?

• to provide the cell with energy
• to store energy
• to hold information
• to do work in the cell

Name the 3 parts to a nucleotide

• 6 carbon sugar, phosphorus, beet
• 5 carbon sugar, phosphate, base
• ozone, glucose, phosphorus
• Nitrogen, CHONP, ATP

Which of the following holds ALL of the instructions for making ALL of the proteins in a cell?

• RNA
• DNA
• Nucleotide
• Amino Acid

What is RNA?

• a type of nucleic acid that stores energy
• a copy of the instructions for how to make one protein
• a very very long molecule stuck inside the nucleus
• a type of protein that does work

Which statement is FALSE?

• RNA is just one strand (looks like DNA cut up the middle)
• RNA can leave the nucleus of the cell
• RNA is a copy of one DNA 'recipe'
• RNA has the same base 'letters' as DNA (A, C, T, and G)
