IQ: : Can you outline the structure of

nucleotides? Can you compare structure of


DNA vs RNA? Do Now Task

List Explain why Summarise


examples of water is a the structure
monosaccha polar of glycogen
rides molecule

Disciplinary Literacy:
Nucleotide
Alpha glucose Water is composed C1,C4 glycosidic
Beta glucose of hydrogen & bonds (linear; less
Beta galactose oxygen atoms & likely to coil) AND
bonds between C1, C6 (branch like
oxygen & hydrogen structures)
; unequal sharing glycosidic bonds
of electrons in
bonds resulting in
the oxygen atom
being more
negative and the
hydrogen atoms
being more positive
Specification
The structure of a nucleotide
Phosphate group
attached to C5 Nitrogenous base
attached to C1
This covalent
bond is called a
phosphodiester
bond

GREEN –C GRADE QUESTIONS AMBER-B GRADE QUESTIONS

1. Nucleotides (1 mark) 1. See textbook, must show: phosphate


(1); sugar (1); base (1); phosphodiester
bond (1)

2. (a) phosphate (1), sugar (1) & a base (1) 2. Nucleotides are linked together by
(3 marks) condensation reactions to form a polymer
called a polynucleotide(1). The phosphate
group at the 5th C of one nucleotide (1) forms a
(b) – pentose sugar containing 5 carbon covalent bond with the OH at the 3rd C of an
atoms (1); phosphate group: an inorganic adjacent nucleotide (1). These bonds form a
molecule that is acidic & negatively phosphodiester bond (1). These bonds are
charged (1); nitrogenous base- contains 1 broken by hydrolysis (1). Give a QWC for the
or 2 carbon rings and nitrogen (1) use of 3 key terms in bold (1).
Red question 1
A pyrimidine base will always pair with a purine
base (1)
Adenine and thymine (in DNA) or uracil (in RNA)
will always form two hydrogen bonds together
(1)
Cytosine & guanine will always form three
hydrogen bonds together (1)
Red question 3
It is a polymer so contains a lot of genetic
information in its double helix (1)

Its base sequence is used as a code, every three


bases will code for an amino acid (1)

Double stranded so molecule is stable (1)
