  1. 3. Nucleic Acids – the acids of life • Molecules vital for life • Found in the nucleus of cells • Contain genetic information • Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) • Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) • Monomers are nucleotides • Four bases: Adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), Guanine (G)

  2. 4. Proteins: a polymer formed by linking numerous amino acids together. Ex. Hemoglobin, enzymes, insulin Amino Acids: monomers of proteins -consist of an amine group and an acid group
