Question
nucleic acids such as dna and rna:
store and transmit genetic information
make up the cell membranes
break down toxins
provide energy
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are biological macromolecules. DNA stores genetic information in the form of genes, and during processes like cell division (mitosis, meiosis) and inheritance, this information is transmitted. RNA also plays roles in processes related to genetic information expression (e.g., mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis). Cell membranes are mainly made of lipids (phospholipids) and proteins. Toxins are broken down by various enzymes (e.g., in the liver, detoxification enzymes work). Carbohydrates and fats are the main energy - providing molecules (carbohydrates are the preferred source, and fats are a long - term energy store).
