Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What other macromolecule makes nucleic acids?
A
lipids
B
carbohydrates
C
proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are made up of macromolecules called nucleotides. Complete answer: Nucleotides are the macromolecules that constitute the nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes the information cells need to make proteins. A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that play multiple cellular roles, including protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein is a molecule made up of polypeptides. It is a class of biological molecule consisting of chains of amino acids called polypeptides. Nucleic acid is a class of macromolecules made up of long chain of polynucleotide that includes deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Detailed explanation-4: -Messenger RNA (mRNA) transports information from DNA to the ribosomes, where they are involved in synthesizing proteins. In addition, ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA are involved in protein synthesis.
