How are proteins and nucleic acids related? a. they both provide energy. b. they both carry genetic information. c. the structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids. d. the subunits of nucleic acids are also the subunits of proteins.

The correct answer would be option C. The structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids.

Explanation:

The proteins are synthesized by the process called protein synthesis which involves two process Transcription and translation that involves two nucleic acids DNA and RNA respectively. Protein synthesis can be explain as:

Copy of one side of the DNA strand is made which is called mRNA.

mRNA migrates to the cytoplasm and finally to the ribosome.

mRNA moves through ribosome one codon at a time.

tRNA matches up to the open DNA bases.

tRNA releases the amino acid, the chain of amino acids being produced.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

the answer is d.) homologous; have mammary glands

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
