Nucleic Acids and Proteins
Nucleic Acids
1. What elements are nucleic acids made of?
2. Identify the name of the type of monomers that make up nucleic acid polymers.
3. Identify the three parts of a nucleotide molecule.
4. What does the cell use nucleic acids for?
5. Identify two examples of polynucleotide macromolecules.
6. Draw a diagram of a nucleic acid.
Proteins
7. What elements are proteins made of?
8. Identify the name of the type of monomers that make up proteins.
9. Identify the two groups that are present on each of the ends of an amino acid molecule.
10. Identify the name given to the type of covalent bond that joins amino acid molecules to make a
polypeptide.
11. How do cells use proteins?
12. all amino acids are identical in region where they covalently bond together, so all amino acids can bond
(carboxyl group to amino group)
13. What gives amino acids their unique properties?
14. What determines the order of amino acids in polypeptide chains?
15. Identify the four levels of structure in proteins.
