Question

2.20 unit 2: biochemistry summative test
nucleic acids are responsible for which of the following?
storing energy
storing information that cells use
making the cell membrane
hormones

Explanation:

Nucleic acids, like DNA and RNA, store genetic information. DNA holds the instructions for the development, functioning, and reproduction of cells. RNA is involved in processes like protein synthesis based on the information stored in DNA. Storing energy is mainly done by molecules like carbohydrates (e.g., glycogen) and lipids. The cell membrane is made up of lipids (phospholipids), proteins, etc. Hormones can be proteins (e.g., insulin), steroids (e.g., testosterone) etc., but nucleic acids are not hormones.

Answer:

Storing information that cells use
