Organic nitrogenous bases A large molecule made A small molecule that is up of many/repeating one of the units bonded A polymer of similar smaller molecules together to form a . (monomers) covalently polymer bonded together

A type of chemical A reaction in which a reaction in which 2 molecule is broken down Refers to structures molecules are joined into smaller molecules that fit together together by means of a by the addition of a because their shapes covalent bind to form a water molecule and the and/or charges match up larger molecule and at breaking of a covalent the same time a water bond. molecule is released.

The monomer used to A polymer consisting of form nucleic acids. Made A molecule used to store many nucleotide of a pentose sugar, a energy temporarily in monomers covalently phosphate group and a bonded together nitrogenous base

The replication of a A type of RNA DNA strand where the Type of RNA polynucleotide involved two strands unzip and a polynucleotide involved in protein synthesis. new strand is assembled in protein synthesis. It Carries the information according to base transports amino acids coding for a polypeptide pairing rules. The to the ribosomes to be from the nucleus to the replicated double helix added to the growing ribosomes in the consists of one old polypeptide chain. cytoplasm strand and one new one
