  1. E. Nucleic Acids 1. Huge organic molecules with C, H, O, N and a distinguishing P 2. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)- forms genetic code and regulates most activities that take place in life 3. Ribonucleic acid (RNA)- relays info for the construction of proteins

  2. 4. Basic units are nucleotides made of nitrogenous bases, pentose sugar, and a phosphate group a. Only 5 different options but every individual houses an unique combination

  3. F. Adenosine Triphosphate 1. ATP is the principle energy storing molecule in the body a. Provides enrgy for contractions, chromosome movement, respiration, and other reactions 2. Recognized by the nitrogenous base adenine with 3 phosphate groups and a 5 C ribose

  4. 3. As phosphates are removed energy is released a. ATP ADP b. ADP AMP 4. ATP is created by using energy from the decomposition of glucose to push P onto ADP
