1.5 nucleic acids

• ATP stands for Adenosine TriPhosphate.
• ATP is a nucleic acid.
• All living cells make ATP
• ATP is constantly being made and then broken back down.
• Condensation requires energy. It is endergonic.
• Hydrolysis & phosphorylation releases energy. It is exergonic.
• ATP is an energy currency.
• ATP/ADP+P cycle is important because it's a constant supply of energy.
• RNA has A, U, C, G bases.
• RNA has one chain, forming a single helix.
• RNA makes a shorter chain than DNA.
• ATP only has A base.
• Both RNA and ATP have a ribose sugar.
• Both DNA and ATP have A, T, G, C bases.
• Both DNA and RNA have one phosphate group.
• DNA has a deoxyribose sugar.
• DNA is found in the nucleus.
• DNA forms a double helix.
