Structure determines function, write that down.
Lipids usually have a non-polar body and a polar head, which accounts for lipid bilayers. Proteins usually have a polar surface, and a relatively non-polar inside, along with a wide range of active sites. The structure of DNA and RNA allows residues to hydrogen bond and form two stranded DNA/RNA.

Proteins - are the building blocks of life. They have two functions which is growth, and repair.
Lipids - are fats, waxes, and oils. Their purpose is to sotre energy, biological membranes, and waterproof coverings. They contain many more Carbon atoms than Hydrogen atoms, and when they are broken down they release more energy than carbs.
Nuclaic Acids - are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus. And They're made of monomers called nucleotydes.
Enzymes - are catalysts. They speed up a chemical reactions in cells. They work by lowering activation energy. They have an active sight where the substrate attatches itself. And when the sustrate attatches itself, it makes a product. Enzymes can be affected by temperature, pH, concentration, and charge. And they often have "on/off" switches.

How do the structure of nucleic acids relate to their functions of information storage and protein synthesis?
this is bullcrap i thought it says ask anything but it doesnt have the answer to my question
What do structural geologists do?
A structural biologist studies the structure and functions of proteins and sometimes nucleic acids.
What are two main functions of nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids actually have 4 functions: 1 for DNA and 1 for each type of RNA. For DNA, nucleic acids are responsible for storing and replicating genetic information For rRNA (ribosomal RNA), nucleic acids are responsible for the basis of the structure and function of ribosomes For mRNA (messenger RNA), nucleic acids are responsible carrying messages through the cell For tRNA (transfer RNA), nucleic acids are responsible for carrying amino acids
Which biomolecule is part of the structure of ATP nucleotides and nucleic acids?
Ribose is part of the structure of ATP nucleotides and nucleic acids.
What is the structure of the four Macromolecules?
a. Carbohydrates - energy storage and structural support b. Lipids - energy storage and components of membranes c. Proteins - many functions including enzymes, defense, transport, structure, contraction d. Nucleic acids - information storage, gene expression

Explain how polar and nonpolar groups are important to the structure and functions of lipids proteins and nucleic acids?
the lipids has the fatty acids and the glyceral in the structure and the proteins has the amino acids in their structure the carbohydrades has the different sugars with different carbon skeletan structure and the nucleic acids have the different nucleotide sequence which makes it easy to identity a molecule

What are the functions of DNA in nucleic acids?
it stores genetic information. DNA: deoxiribonucleic acidDNA is made of nucleic acids. DNA is stored in chromosomes, which are found in the nucleus.
What are DNA and RNA examples of?
Nucleic acids

Is amino acids a structure of RNA?
No, RNA is made of nucleic acid.
