GenesGenes

About 1000 rungs of DNA make a single gene

StructureStructure

DNA – double helix– Contains T and not U

RNA– Single Stranded– Contains U and not T– mRNA, tRNA and rRNA

ATPATP

Adenosine TriPhosphateTransfers energy from energy releasing

reactions to energy-requiring reactions that maintain cellular activities

Page 10: Nucleic Acids and ATP. Nucleic Acids Named because they were first found in the nucleus of cells VERY VERY BIG Contain C, H, O, N and P

StructureStructure

3 phosphate groups attached to an adenosine molecule

Page 11: Nucleic Acids and ATP. Nucleic Acids Named because they were first found in the nucleus of cells VERY VERY BIG Contain C, H, O, N and P

Energy Transferring ReactionEnergy Transferring Reaction

Via hydrolysis, the last phosphate group is removed and releases energy

Produces ADP – adenosine Diphosphate
