Study Notes

Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acids are complex molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
They are responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of all living things.
DNA is a double helix, made of two strands of nucleotides.
RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a single-stranded molecule involved in protein synthesis.
RNA is transcribed from DNA and then translated into proteins.

Biomolecules

The four main categories of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Each category contains diverse molecules with distinct structures and functions.
Understanding biomolecules helps us understand how they contribute to life processes.
