Document Summary

**dna< proteins< combo of proteins < structures & processes< organism ** 3 (39-42); 6 (105-109: what kinds of molecules characterize living things, polymers (many units, monomers (smaller units, amino acids -> proteins, monosaccharide -> polysaccharides, nucleotides -> nucleic acids, lipids, functional groups : certain small group of atom. Branching limits h-bonds making them less compact than cellulose. Branching makes its deposits more compact than starch. Polymer of glucose w - 1,4- glycosidic linkages. Polymer of glucose w -1,4, and -1,6 glycosidic bonds. Translation: nucleotides have roles, atp =energy in many rxns, gtp= energy source for protein synthesis & transfers info to cells, camp= special nucleotide w/ additional bond btw sugar & phosphate group. Dna & role in heredity: gene is dna, location. ***nucleotides are added to strand at 3" end*** 1 of 3 phosphate groups in dntp is attached to the 5" position of sugar.
