Identify the key role of nucleic acids:
A
instant energy
B
hormone, buoyancy, forms cell membranes, insulation, energy storage
C
transport hemoglobin, immunity, chemical reactions, regulate proteins, tissue structure
D
store and transmit heredity, genetic information
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), carry genetic information which is read in cells to make the RNA and proteins by which living things function. The well-known structure of the DNA double helix allows this information to be copied and passed on to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids are polymers that store, transmit, and express hereditary (genetic) information. This information is encoded in the sequences of monomers that make up nucleic acids. There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). DNA stores and transmits genetic information.

Detailed explanation-3: -A major function of nucleic acids involves the storage and expression of genomic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes the information cells need to make proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic acids have a very diverse set of functions, such as cell creation, the storage and processing of genetic information, protein building, and the generation of energy cells.
