Detailed explanation-1: -The biomolecules may involve in several processes such as energy storage (carbohydrates), catalyzing the biochemical reactions (hormones), storing/transmitting the genetic codes (RNA/DNA), or altering biological and neurological activities (neurotransmitter/hormones).
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Nucleic acid’
Detailed explanation-3: -No, proteins do not store genetic information or transmit to the next generation. The genetic information is stored in the form of nucleic acids i.e. deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) or ribonucleic acids (RNA).
Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is a carbohydrate, a monosaccharide. Glucose does not contain amino acids whereas proteins contain amino acids. Thus, the energy provider is not a function of proteins. Hence, the correct option is the option (D) As energy provider for metabolism.
