Question

25 which of the following statements correctly describes the role of nucleotides in the structure and function of nucleic acids? (2pts) a nucleotides are the building blocks of proteins and are involved in catalyzing biochemical reactions. b nucleotides are simple sugars that provide energy for cellular processes. c nucleotides are lipids that make up cell membranes and store energy. d nucleotides are the monomers that form nucleic acids, which store and transmit genetic information.

Explanation:

Nucleotides are monomers of nucleic - acids (DNA and RNA). They store and transmit genetic information. Proteins are made of amino - acids, simple sugars are monosaccharides for energy, and lipids make up cell membranes and store energy.

Answer:

D. Nucleotides are the monomers that form nucleic acids, which store and transmit genetic information.
