These notes cover the structure and function of nucleic acids, focusing on DNA and RNA and how genetic information is stored and maintained. Topics include nucleotide components, nitrogenous bases, and base pairing rules, as well as the differences between DNA and RNA in structure, stability, and function. The notes explain the three levels of DNA structure—primary, secondary, and tertiary—and how the double helix, complementary base pairing, and compact organization allow DNA to store information efficiently. This section also introduces cell membranes as selective barriers and describes how substances move across membranes through diffusion and concentration gradients, including the concepts of hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. This resource is ideal for students learning the fundamentals of molecular biology and cell transport.
