The polymer name of nucleic acids is nucleic

The polymer name of nucleic acids is nucleic acids DNA RNA

Elements that make up nucleic acids • Carbon • Hydrogen • Oxygen • Nitrogen • Phosphorus

The monomers of nucleic acids are called nucleotides

There are 4 nucleotides of DNA Adinine Thymine Cytosine Guanine

Main function of two types of Nucleic acids • DNA (deoxyribonucle ic acid) • Stores genetic information that is essential for all cellular activities • RNA (ribonucleic acid) • Protein synthesis (making new proteins)

Where is DNA located in cells? of Eukaryotic cells Have DNA in Their nucleus. Prokaryotic cells DNA is loose in the cytoplasm

All living things have DNA • We recycle the DNA in foods we eat. It is broken down into its basic parts and reused, like legos. • DNA is easy to extract from non-cooked foods

DNA can be extracted from unprocessed foods.

A monomer of nucleic acid consists of a sugar a nitrogen base and a Phosphate group monomer

• A section of DNA that codes for a specific Protein. • There is a different code for each protein (which amino acids are used and in what order) • Proteins determine traits like eye color or shape of ear • Genes can be copied

Do all living organisms have DNA? yes
