Question
Normal Multiple Choice Question A biology student creates a table that shows the function of the four major macromolecules. Macromolecule Function lipids transport oxygen in the blood proteins help with muscle contractions nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information carbohydrates provide usable chemical energy for cells For which macromolecule does the student list an incorrect function? A. the lipids, because they are responsible for long-term energy storage B. the proteins, because they are responsible for helping plants retain water C. the carbohydrates, because they are responsible for the structure of the cell membrane D. the nucleic acids, because they are responsible for providing support for the immune system

The correct answer is D. the nucleic acids, because they are responsible for providing support for the immune system.
Nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) are responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information, not for providing support for the immune system. The functions of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates listed in the question align more closely with their actual biological roles, while the function attributed to nucleic acids is incorrect.
