Adenine is a nitrogenous base found in DNA and RNA to make up genetic information. In DNA, adenine will always be bonded to a thymine. In RNA, adenine will always be bonded to a uracil.

Uracil and thymine are nitrogenous bases that are complementary to adenine.

Adenine is also found in ATP (Adenine Tri-Phosphate); the form of energy that every cell in our body uses to carry out its usual tasks.

Without adenine, our cells would not get the energy that they need, and our DNA would be drastically changed.
