DNA and RNA are both organic molecules classified as which type of macromolecule?
A
Proteins
B
Polysaccharides (carbohydrates)
C
Nucleic acids
D
Triglycerides (lipids)
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the four main types of biological macromolecules: proteins, carbohydrates (polysaccharides), lipids (such as triglycerides), and nucleic acids.
Recall that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are molecules that store and transmit genetic information.
Understand that molecules involved in genetic information storage and transmission belong to the category of nucleic acids.
Recognize that proteins are made of amino acids, carbohydrates are made of sugar units, and lipids are made of fatty acids and glycerol, which are different from nucleic acids.
Conclude that since DNA and RNA carry genetic information and are composed of nucleotide monomers, they are classified as nucleic acids.
