Your assignment today is to summarize in two paragraphs (8 sentences total) the effects of dinitrophenol (DNP) on the human body. Make sure you explain what DNP is, the stages of cellular respiration, and how DNP alters the metabolism of the person using it (side effects). The following vocabulary terms need to be used: cellular respiration, adenosine triphosphate, and dinitrophenol (DNP). Your objective is to describe the role of ATP in cellular respiration in order to explain how DNP affects the rate of metabolism. The first paragraph is an introduction to the summary and the second paragraph is an explanation of the main idea. You will be graded on this criteria: main idea, explanation of cellular respiration, explanation of DNP, and paragraph structure.
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.
