DNA 
-deoxyribonucleic acid
-used to store genetic information
RNA
-ribonucleic acid
-transfers genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes
-ribosomes read the RNA to make polypeptides (proteins) in a process of translation
-together with proteins make up ribosomes
Nucleotide Structure
-DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides.
-made from 3 different components: a pentose sugar (sugar with 5 carbon atoms), a nitrogen-containing organic base (organic = contains carbon), and a phosphate group:
