Protein synthesis DNA DeoxyriboNucleic Acid stores and transmits the genetic information that tells cells which proteins to make and when to make them DNA is made up of 2 long chains of NUCLEOTIDES. THE STUFF OF LIFE. Biomolecules. Organic molecules made up of:. Carbon. Hydrogen. Nitrogen. Oxygen. a. nd sometimes Phosphorus. LATIN 101. Poly = . Many. Mono = . O. ne. Hydro = . Water. . (actually Greek). 2. Nucleic acids/ Polynucleotide. 3. Types of nucleic acids. Basic unit of nucleic acids. Made up of 3 basic components. Pentose sugar. Organic base. Phosphate group. 1.1 Pentose sugar. Ribose. or . Dr. . Sahar. Al . Shabane. Nucleic acids.  are biopolymers, or large . biomolecules. , essential for all known forms of . life. . Nucleic acids, which include . DNA.  (deoxyribonucleic acid) and . Essential idea: The structure of DNA allows efficient storage of genetic information.. There is 2m of DNA in each human cell, however the most cells in the human body have a diameter of 10 . μm. . This DNA is divided in chromosomes and coiled around proteins called histones so that it can be efficiently stored in each cell's nucleus. The human genome project which has decoded the case sequence for the whole 2m of the human genome requires a data warehouse (pictured) to store the information electronically. This should give a good idea of just how efficient DNA is at storing information and why it needs to be so.. Biochemistry-Macromolecules 4 types Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids Carbohydrates Function of Carbohydrates Energy source!!! Energy is stored in the C-H bonds Plant Structure Cellulose is a carbohydrate found in the cell wall of plants Consists of 5 carbon sugar, nitrogen base, and phosphate group. Repeating unit that makes up DNA, RNA, and ATP (energy for cells). What is a nucleic acid?. Store genetic material (DNA). Transfer genetic code (RNA). TOPIC 1.1Structure of Water . and Hydrogen Bonding. SYI-1.A.1. The . subcomponents of biological . molecules and . their sequence determine the properties . of that . molecule. .. SYI-1.A.2. Living systems depend on properties of water that result from its polarity and hydrogen bonding.. The Double Helix (DNA). Structural model:. Model proposed by Watson & Crick, 1953. Two sugar-phosphate strands, next to each other, but running in opposite directions.. Specific Hydrogen bonds. occur among bases from one chain to the other:. Each nucleic acid has its own unique sequence of bases that carries the genetic information from one cell to the next.. Learning . Goal . Describe the primary structures of DNA . and RNA. .. Nucleic Acid Structure. What are nucleic acid ?. Linear polymers of . nucleaotides.first. isolated by . Miescher. (. 1871). Each nucleotide consist of 3 components . 1. . purine. or . pyrimidine. . nucleobase.
