Nucleic acids transmit signals that begin biochemical processes, while enzymes convert carbohydrates into lipids and proteins.

Answer 1

Nucleic acids contain the genetic code for protein synthesis, while enzymes catalyze chemical reactions.

Reason: DNA/RNA store and transmit genetic information; enzymes (mostly proteins) speed up biochemical reactions.
