Question

page(s) 47-50 3.3. describe the structure and function of the four major classes of biomolecules and their roles in biological systems. computers and books are excellent ways to store information in the modern age. however, computers are useless without energy, and books are prone to decomposition over time. certain biomolecules are stable in a way that on a geologic time scale have been preserved for millennia. thus, some scientists are preparing to encode and store modern information in which of the following biomolecules? click or tap a choice to answer the question. proteins dna lipids carbohydrates

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the function of each biomolecule:

• Proteins: Mainly for structure, enzymes, etc., not long - term info storage.
• Lipids: For energy storage, cell membranes, not info storage.
• Carbohydrates: For energy, cell structure, not info storage.
• DNA: It is the genetic material that stores genetic information. It is stable over long periods (geologic time scales) and can encode information. So scientists would use DNA to store modern information.

Answer:

DNA
