The macromolecule that is a nucleic acid is D, an RNA molecule.

Explanation:

Being as both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, here is an explanation. DNA's structure is in the shape of a double-stranded helix while RNA's is structured as a single-stranded helix. DNA's backbone is made of the sugars deoxyribose and phosphate while RNA's backbone is made of the sugars ribose and phosphate. DNA also contains the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine (adenine bonds with thymine and cytosine bonds with guanine) while RNA contains all said bases, except thymine is replaced with uracil (because of this change, the new bases pairings are adenine and uracil and still cytosine and guanine).

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
