Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the four main types of biomolecules: lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Recall that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are molecules that store and transmit genetic information.
Understand that molecules responsible for genetic information are classified as nucleic acids.
Recognize that lipids are primarily involved in energy storage and membrane structure, proteins perform various functions including enzymatic activity, and carbohydrates mainly serve as energy sources and structural components.
Conclude that since DNA and RNA carry genetic information, they belong to the category of nucleic acids.
