Document Summary

Life forces can synthesize monomers and through chemical reactions can build a polymer. The specific nature of the carbohydrate associated with the phosphate group is important to the structure of a nucleotide. Since rna is single stranded, it has a higher potential to react than a double stranded molecule such as dna. Ribonucleotides: which contain the sugar ribose form rna. Deoxyribonucleotides: which contain sugar deoxyribose and form dna. A dna molecule is symmetrical, which is why certain nucleotides can only bond with other certain nucleotides. Weak hydrogen bonds hold together nucleotides on both sides of dna"s parallel strands. Polymerization of nucleic acids is an endergonic process catalyzed by enzymes. Phosphorylation of the nucleotides is where the energy for polymerization comes from. (transfer of one or more phosphate groups to substrate). Use the energy from one phosphate group and use it to stick it together molecule. Used instead of using large amounts of heat.
