Question

1. the rn educates the parents regarding the functional importance of proteins as performing metabolic reactions and forming cellular structure. which of the following are the building blocks of proteins?

• nucleotides
• fatty acids
• monosaccharides
• amino acids

1. in providing education about genetic disorders, the rn would most accurately describe which of the following cellular macromolecules as responsible for the transmission of genetic information?

• lipids
• carbohydrates
• nucleic acids
• proteins

1. which of the following is a nucleotide responsible for releasing and storing energy for cellular chemical reactions?

• adenosine triphosphate
• rna
• triglycerides
• dna

Explanation:

1. Proteins are made up of amino - acids. Nucleotides are building blocks of nucleic acids, fatty acids are part of lipids, and monosaccharides are building blocks of carbohydrates.
2. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are responsible for the transmission of genetic information. Lipids are mainly for energy storage and membrane formation, carbohydrates are for energy and structure, and proteins have various functions like catalysis and structure but not genetic information transmission.
3. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide that releases and stores energy for cellular chemical reactions. RNA and DNA are nucleic acids involved in genetic processes, and triglycerides are a type of lipid for long - term energy storage.

Answer:

1. Amino acids
2. Nucleic acids
3. Adenosine triphosphate
