1 Every nucleotide is made up

of
1.
2.
3.
4.

Sugar
Phosphate
Nitrogen base
All of the above

Every nucleotide monomer is made up of

1.
2.
3.
4.

Ribose Sugar
Phosphate
Nitrogen base
All of the above

In ribonucleotides of RNA, this C of the

ribose is bonded to an H and to an OH
group. In deoxyribonucleotides of DNA, this
C shows 2 H bonded instead---deoxy- means
w/o an O!

2 Regarding the nitrogen bases,

Adenine always bonds with which one?
1.
2.
3.
4.

Cytosine
Thymine
Guanine
Uracil

2 Regarding the nitrogen bases, in double

stranded DNA, the nucleotide Adenine
always bonds with which one?
1. Cytosine
2. Thymine
3. Guanine
4. Uracil
Note the antiparallel (facing
opposite directions)
strands joined by
complementary
nitrogenous base pairs
between the
deoxyribonucleotides:
A to T and C to G

Hydrogen bonds (H bonds)

attract the nitrogenous base
pairs to each other and hold
the 2 strands of Dna together

The 2 halves of the DNA double helix are

comprised of H bonded complementary,
but anti-parallel, deoxyribonucleotide base
pairs.

3 DNA contains the code to make

what macromolecule?

Glucose
Protein
Carbohydrates
Lipids

Each gene contains the

pattern for a particular
protein (the order in which to
put amino acid monomers
together to build the polymer
called a protein.
Proteins are the tools that
carry out all the jobs and
build most of the structures in
our cells.

together in the middle by their
1. Sugars
2. Phosphates
3. Nitrogen bases
