Question
computers and books are excellent ways to store information in the modern age. however, computers are useless without energy, and books are prone to decomposition over time. certain biomolecules are stable in a way that on a geologic time scale have been preserved for millennia. thus, some scientists are preparing to encode and store modern information in which of the following biomolecules? lipids proteins dna carbohydrates
DNA is a stable biomolecule capable of storing genetic - like information for long periods. It has a high information - density storage capacity and can be preserved over long time scales on a geologic level. Lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates do not have the same long - term, high - density information - storing capabilities as DNA for encoding modern information.
