Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
RNA and DNA are which type of organic macromolecule?
A
Carbohydrate
B
Lipid
C
Protein
D
Nucleic Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids, macromolecules made out of units called nucleotides, come in two naturally occurring varieties: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids are key macromolecules in the continuity of life. They carry the genetic blueprint of a cell and carry instructions for the functioning of the cell. The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -The two main types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. Both DNA and RNA are made from nucleotides, each containing a five-carbon sugar backbone, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. DNA provides the code for the cell ‘s activities, while RNA converts that code into proteins to carry out cellular functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -A nucleic acid is an organic compound, such as DNA or RNA, that is built of small units called nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: DNA is a nucleic acid. There are four main groupings or classes of organic macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. DNA (or deoxyribonucleic acid) is a macromolecule, which falls into the latter grouping of organic macromolecules-nucleic acids.
