Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the four main classes of biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Recall the primary function and composition of DNA and RNA, which are molecules that store and transmit genetic information.
Understand that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are made up of nucleotide monomers, which consist of a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base.
Recognize that molecules composed of nucleotides belong to the class called nucleic acids.
Conclude that since DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides and function in genetic information storage and transfer, they are classified as nucleic acids.
