Nucleic acids

● DNA is located in nucleus of a

cell
● DNA Is A Polymer

● Nucleotides are the

monomers of DNA
 Adenine - A
4 types of nitrogen bases Guanine - G
Cytosine - C
Thymine - T
One strand of DNA
● A always pairs with T
● C always pairs with G
● Between bases we have hydrogen bonds
● 2 bonds between A and T
● 3 bonds between C and G
● RNA takes part in protein synthesis
● ATP is an energy molecule
● Energy is released when
the phosphate bonds are
broken
