carbohydrates
this molecule stores genetic information. which macromolecule is it?*
The image shows a double - helix structure, which is characteristic of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is a type of nucleic acid. Nucleic acids are macromolecules that store genetic information. Proteins are involved in various functions like catalysis (enzymes) and structural support. Lipids are mainly for energy storage (fats) and making cell membranes. Carbohydrates are for energy (glucose) and structural purposes (cellulose in plants). Since the molecule in the image stores genetic information and has a double - helix structure (a key feature of nucleic acids), it is a nucleic acid.
