Question

what type of biomolecule is shown below? *

protein
carbohydrate
lipid
nucleic acid

Explanation:

A nucleic acid is composed of a phosphate group, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and a nitrogen - containing base. The diagram shows these components (phosphate, ribose, and base), which are characteristic of nucleic acids. Proteins are made of amino acids, carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides (like glucose), and lipids are made of fatty acids and glycerol. So, based on the components shown (phosphate, sugar, base), the biomolecule is a nucleic acid.

Answer:

nucleic acid
