Provides animals with insulation for the winter? • 2. Label each of the following formulas as a carbohydrate, lipid, or protein and explain your choice: • C6H12O6: • C4H8O8: • C44189H71252N12428O14007S321: • C13H9N3O2:
Functions of Nucleic Acids • Contain genetic material • Nucleic acids hold information that our body uses to make proteins
Monomers of Nucleic Acids • NUCLEOTIDES are the monomers of nucleic acids
Nucleotides are made of… • 1 phosphate • 1 sugar • 1 nitrogen base
QUICK CHECKS What is the monomer of nucleic acids? Nucleotides What are the parts of a nucleotide? Phosphate, Sugar, Nitrogenous Base
Examples of nucleic acids DNA (double helix) RNA (single strand)
QUICK CHECKS What do nucleic acids do for our bodies? Store genetic material, help make proteins
Independent Practice • What is the monomer of a lipid? • Why do large groups of lipids form? • Are lipids polymers? Why or why not? • What is the monomer of a nucleic acid? • What are the three parts of the nucleic acid monomer? • What do nucleic acids do for our bodies?
