Question
- which biomolecule is primarily responsible for storing genetic information in a cell?
lipids
nucleic acids
proteins
carbohydrates
Brief Explanations
Nucleic acids, specifically DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), store genetic information in cells. DNA contains the genetic code that determines the characteristics and functions of living organisms. Lipids are mainly for energy - storage and membrane - structure, proteins have various functions like catalysis and structure but not primary genetic - information storage, and carbohydrates are for energy and structural support.
