Document Summary

Nucleic acids: largest molecules in the body composed of nucleotides. Nucleotide: building blocks composed of nitrogen-containing base, pentose sugar and phosphate group and synthesized by attachment of base and phosphate group to pentose sugar. 5 types of nitrogen-containing bases: adenine (a), guanine (g), cytosine (c), and thymine (t) 2 classes: deoxyribonucleic acid (dna): double-stranded helical molecule in the cell nucleus that provides instructions for protein synthesis and replicates before cell division, ensuring genetic continuity. A = t and g = c. Hydrogen bonds between bases: ribonucleic acid (rna): single-stranded molecule mostly active outside the nucleus and carries out dna orders for protein synthesis. 3 types: messenger rna (mrna, transfer rna (trna, ribosomal rna (rrna) Adenosine triphosphate (atp): modified nucleotide composed of adenosine base and phosphate group attached to ribose sugar.
