What stores genetic information protein lipids carbohydrates or nucleic acids?

Nucleic acids, specifically DNA and RNA, store genetic information in living organisms. These molecules are responsible for carrying and transmitting genetic instructions needed for the growth, development, and functioning of living organisms.


Organelle responsible for the transportation of information?

The transportation of information in a cell occurs in two steps. Firstly DNA (the information store) is transcribed into mRNA this is done by enzymes like RNA polymerase. This mRNA is then tranlated into proteins by the RIBOSOME (this is the organelle i think your asking about)


In the above diagram of an animal cell what is the function of organelle 1?

Without access to the specific diagram you're referring to, I can't identify "organelle 1" directly. However, if "organelle 1" is commonly a nucleus, its function is to store genetic information and coordinate cellular activities, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. If it refers to another organelle, such as a mitochondrion, it would be responsible for energy production through cellular respiration. Please provide more context or specify the organelle for a more accurate description.


One function of the chromosomes in a cell is to?

provide information that determines the traits of an organism.


What is the main purpose of the nucleic acid?

The main purpose of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, is to store and transmit genetic information within cells. They carry instructions for the synthesis of proteins and are essential for the growth, development, and functioning of living organisms.

Is DNA considered an organelle?

No, DNA is not considered an organelle. DNA is a molecule found in the nucleus of cells and contains the genetic information necessary for the development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms. Organelles are specialized structures within cells that have specific functions.

Do steriods store and process genetic information?

No. Steroids are a class of organic molecules and are relatively small. They do not in any way store genetic material.

Do amino acids store genetic information?

Only in very rare cases, such as ribozyme where it is an RNA that acts as a protein. For the most part DNA and RNA store genetic information, proteins are created from the information stored by them.
