E. RNA has a name similar to DNA because they belong to the same category of biomolecule. In which of the following ways is RNA similar? 1. Both RNA and DNA consist of two strands 2. Both are polynucleotide polymers 3. Both have a five carbon sugar in their monomers 4. Both have a nitrogenous base called U F. RNA has a name similar to DNA because they belong to the same category of biomolecule. In which of the following ways is RNA different? 1. It is made of five different monomer units instead of four 2. It exists in three different subcategories one being tRNA 3. It functions in processes with drastically different end goals 4. There is no H-bonding in RNA while in DNA it is extensive 5. The monomer units in RNA have phosphate groups but not in DNA

DNA and RNA are both polymers of nucleotides. Although they are very similar in some respects, they also have many chemical and structural differences that give them each unique characteristics and functions. In this activity, you will compare and contrast them: THINK: Based on what you remember from your before-class reading and earlier coursework, fill in the following chart comparing and contrasting the chemical structure of DNA and RNA: DNA ONLY RNA ONLY BOTH DNA AND RNA

One strand of DNA is made out of three components- they are: The difference between a nucleoside and a nucleotide is In a nucleoside the is connected to a nitrogen base through a glycosidic bond. In a DNA dinucleotide two are connected to one another through a phosphodiester bond. The difference between DNA and RNA are the sugar and the nitrogen bases Hydrolysis of a nucleotide produces its three components: Thymine and adenine can form hydrogen bonds. There are this many hydrogen bonds between adenine and its complementary nitrogen base is, Where does synthesis of RNA take place? DNA is made in of the cell What is the name for synthesis of protein? The nitrogen base that does not have oxygen is Transcription is Which feature distinguishes the pentoses from DNA and RNA? Which type of RNA carries an amino acid during protein synthesis? A nitrogen base + a carbohydrate + a phosphate unit makes a During translation are attached to the 3'end of RNA unit to make peptide bonds. The sequence of one strand of double stranded DNA is 5'-AGTCG-3'. The sequence of the complementary strand is (Convention is from 5' end to 3' end)- must flip the matching base pair sequence. Translation is

Like DNA, RNA contains four nitrogenous bases. Three of them are the same as those found in DNA. The one that is different is called . The five-carbon sugar in RNA is called .
