Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the four main types of biological macromolecules: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Recall that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are molecules that store and transmit genetic information.
Understand that proteins are made of amino acids and serve as enzymes and structural components, carbohydrates are sugars and energy sources, and lipids are fats and membranes.
Recognize that nucleic acids are the macromolecules specifically responsible for carrying genetic information, which matches the role of DNA and RNA.
Conclude that DNA and RNA belong to the category of nucleic acids.
