Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What macromolecule group does DNA belong to?
A
carbohydrates
B
lipids
C
nucleic acids
D
proteins
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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acids are made up of macromolecules called nucleotides. Complete answer: Nucleotides are the macromolecules that constitute the nucleic acids. In DNA, the nucleotides are referred to as A, C, T, and G.

Detailed explanation-4: -11.1 Introduction: The Four Major Macromolecules These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids. All of the major macromolecule classes are similar, in that, they are large polymers that are assembled from small repeating monomer subunits.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
