Proteins, Nucleic Acids and Nutrition

What is the best definition of the function of nucleic acids?

• They contain defense mechanisms against bacteria

• They contain the genetic information that makes you an other living things unique

• They are used as the structural components of the body (muscles and organs)

• They create the cell membrane

What is the function of proteins?

• Energy for the body

• They insulate the body, are used for short term energy and are found in glycogen

• They are used as the structural components of the body (muscles and organs)

• They create the cell membrane
