Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the four major types of biological macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Understand that carbohydrates are primarily sugars and energy storage molecules, proteins are made of amino acids and perform various functions, and lipids are fats and oils used for energy storage and membrane structure.
Recognize that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are molecules that store and transmit genetic information.
Identify that molecules responsible for storing genetic information belong to the category called nucleic acids.
Conclude that DNA and RNA are examples of nucleic acids, which are one of the four main types of biological macromolecules.
