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, this genetic information in nucleic acids determines the sequence of amino - acids in proteins, thus determining protein structure. Proteins do not carry genetic information in the same way nucleic acids do, and they have different subunits (amino - acids for proteins, nucleotides for nucleic acids), and they are not energy - providing molecules in the same sense as carbohydrates or fats.

Answer:

The structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids.
