<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Nucleic acids''' are biopolymers, or large biomolecules, essential for all known forms of life. They are composed of nucleotides, which are the monomers made of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid ([[DNA]]) and ribonucleic acid ([[RNA]]).<br />
<br />
== Structure ==<br />
Nucleic acids are usually composed of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. If the sugar is deoxyribose, the polymer is DNA. If the sugar is ribose, the polymer is RNA.<br />
<br />
== Function ==<br />
Nucleic acids function in cell machinery and are also important in the storage and transmission of genetic information. DNA is used as a template in the synthesis of RNA. RNA, in turn, can be used to create proteins. This process is known as [[protein synthesis]].<br />
<br />
== Types ==<br />
There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA and RNA. DNA carries the cell's genetic information and RNA uses that information to construct proteins.<br />
<br />
=== DNA ===<br />
DNA is a long polymer with a deoxyribose and phosphate backbone and four different bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.<br />
<br />
=== RNA ===<br />
RNA is a polymer with a ribose and phosphate backbone and four different bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.<br />
