PPT-Nucleic Acids

Concept 55 Nucleic acids store and transmit hereditary information The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is programmed by a unit of inheritance called a gene Genes are made of DNA a nucleic acid. 1.Rae, P.

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). 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.. Attractive force between particles of the same kind. ____________________. Attractive force between unlike substances. _______________________. In a mixture of water and cool-aid which would be the solute and which would be the solvent?. 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).
