Question
what is the main function of a nucleic acid? store and transmit genetic code for traits energy control reactions as enzymes make up cell membranes
Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, carry genetic information that determines an organism's traits and is passed from one generation to the next. They are not involved in energy - related functions (like carbohydrates and fats), enzyme - based reaction control (mostly proteins as enzymes), or cell membrane composition (lipids and proteins).
