Question
what is the function of the macromolecule shown below?
store long term energy
control movement into and out of cells
stores genetic information
expresses genetic information
The macromolecule shown is RNA (ribonucleic acid). RNA's main function is to express genetic information. It is involved in processes like transcription (copying DNA's genetic code) and translation (using that code to make proteins). Storing genetic information is mainly DNA's role. Storing long - term energy is for molecules like fats. Controlling movement into and out of cells is a function of the cell membrane (with proteins and lipids having roles in transport).
