Answer 1

False.

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are primarily responsible for the storage and transmission of genetic information, not for long-term energy storage or as components of cell membranes. Long-term energy storage is typically the function of lipids (fats) and carbohydrates, while cell membranes are mainly composed of phospholipids and proteins.
