Which of the following is true about nucleic acids? Both DNA, which stores genetic information and encodes protein sequences, and RNA, which is involved in the direct production of proteins, are nucleic acids.
Nucleic acids always consist of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more phosphate groups.
Nucleic acids are usually insoluble in water and are used for long term energy storage.
Glucose, cellulose, and starch are examples of nucleic acids found in most cells.

Explanation:

DNA and RNA are both made up of chains of nucleotides. They are responsible for holding, transmitting, and translating genetic information into proteins.

Nucleotides are made up of a 5 carbon sugar, (DNA is deoxyribose, RNA is ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. They are linked together by phosphodiester bonds. The sequence of nucleotides makes the DNA and RNA sequences unique and determines the structure and function of the encoded proteins
