Question

how are proteins and nucleic acids related? they both provide energy. they both carry genetic information. the structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids. the subunits of nucleic acids are also the subunits of proteins.

Explanation:

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) contain the genetic code. Through transcription and translation processes, they determine the sequence of amino - acids in proteins, thus determining protein structure. Proteins do not carry genetic information (except in prions which is an exception), they are not energy - providing main sources compared to carbohydrates and fats, and the subunits of nucleic acids (nucleotides) are different from protein subunits (amino - acids).

Answer:

The structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids.
