Four of these are related. Select the exception. O hydrophobic with nonpolar side chains O hydrophilic with polar side chains O negatively charged (acidic) O positivly chaged (basic) O disulfide bridges
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
Proteins are large biomolecules that compose structural and motor elements of a cell, and also as catalysts for all biochemical reactions occurring in living beings. Each gene in the cellular DNA code for a different protein structure. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, consisting of an alpha carbon atom connected to an amino group, a hydrogen atom, a carboxyl group, and a changeable component known as a side chain. Long chains of amino acids formed by peptide bonding between them form a polypeptide chain.
