Quiz 2 - Nucleic Acid Flashcards
Types of nucleic acid
DNA - deoxyribo
RNA - ribo
ATP
ATP
(Adenosine Tripophosphate) converts energy from carohydrates
Instructions for producing RNA
DNA
Contains instructions for producing proteins
RNA
Monomer
Nucleotides
Composition of monomer
5 carbon sugar (pentose), nitrogenous base and phosphate group
5 carbon sugar
Deoxyribose
Ribose
Bond of nucleic acid
Phospodiester bond/link (hydrogen bond)
2 helix strand and replication can easily happen because bonds are weak (unzipping)
Deoxyribonucleic acid
DNA contains
Deoxyribose (sugar)
Nitrogenous bases
4 nitrogenous bases
Adenine
Thymine - pair in DNA
Guanine
Cytosine
1 strand and attraction happens within the strand and forms 3d structure
Ribonucleic acid
Nitrogenous bases
Adenine
Urasil
Guanine
Cytosine
Nucleotide, universal energy source, breaking bonds releases energy
ATP - adenosine tripophosphate
ATP ->
ADP + P + energy
