Question

Macromolecule, most diverse in cell to control physiological and chemical properties is?

• A. Nucleic acid
• B. Protein
• C. Glycogen
• D. Oligosaccharide

Answer 1

The correct option is A Nucleic acid

• Macromolecules of the living cell that controls all the physiological and chemical properties of the cell are the nucleic acid which are formed by binding of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
• These nucleic acid are present inside the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell and are form the genetic material of the cell. The nitrogen base present in the nucleic acid form codons which code for the formation of protein chains which are either the proteins used for formation of cell structures or either the enzymes which are used to initiate the various process in the cell.
• The process of protein synthesis which starts by the transcription of a DNA strand which is a nucleic acid and then proceeds for the formation of protein which will regulate various functions.
• Therefore it can be said the nucleic acid along with other macromolecules controls the functions and properties of the cell

Therefore the answer option A is correct.
