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 that determines the sequence of amino - acids in proteins during the processes of transcription and translation. Proteins do not carry genetic information (nucleic acids do), they are not energy - providing in the same way as carbohydrates and fats, and the subunits of nucleic acids (nucleotides) are different from the subunits of proteins (amino - acids).

Answer:

The structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids.
