In the context of DNA structure, RNA and DNA are examples of which type of biomolecule?
A
Triacylglycerols
B
Proteins
C
Polysaccharides
D
Nucleic acids
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the four main types of biomolecules: triacylglycerols (fats and oils), proteins, polysaccharides (carbohydrates), and nucleic acids.
Recall that DNA and RNA are molecules that store and transmit genetic information within cells.
Understand that molecules responsible for genetic information storage and transmission belong to the class called nucleic acids.
Recognize that triacylglycerols are fats, proteins are made of amino acids, and polysaccharides are long chains of sugars, so they do not fit the role of DNA and RNA.
Conclude that DNA and RNA are examples of nucleic acids, the biomolecules specialized in carrying genetic information.
