Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Proteins and nucleic acids serve a wide variety of functions in the cell, and they are both made in a similar way by joining together a sequence of repeating subunits. For this reason, both of these organic molecules are referred to as-
A
Polymers
B
Lipids
C
Micronutrients
D
Enzymes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are constructed through an intricate action blueprinted and carried out by the nucleic acids deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The process is known as protein biosynthesis and involves the construction of protein chains from individual amino acids in a particular sequence.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Proteins and nucleic acids are both important biological macromolecules. They both have carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen, but are made of different molecular components. Proteins are made of amino acids, and nucleic acids are made of nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which statement best describes the relationship between proteins and nucleic acids? Nucleic acids are assembled from the amino acids of proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic acids contain the same elements as proteins: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen; plus phosphorous (C, H, O, N, and P).
