Nucleic acids
composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Consist of nucleotides which contain a nitrogen-containing base, a pentose sugar, and phosphate group.
Explain the synthesis of a nucleotide
The synthesis involves the attachment of a base to the pentose sugar to form a nucleoside. The nucleotide is formed when phosphate is bonded to sugar.
DNA
found in the nucleus; constitues the genetic material. replicates istelf before a cell divides and provides basic instructions for building every protein.
RNA
Outside of nucleus; carries out the orders for protein synthesis issued by DNA
Adenosine Triphosphate
Energy released during glucose catabolism is copuled to ATP synthesis, meaning it is captured and stored as small packets of energy in the bonds of ATP.
ADP
Adenosine diphosphate. ATP yileds ADP + Phoshpate group + energy
