Question

Which of the following best compares the structure of carbohydrates and nucleic acids?

1) Carbohydrates consist of monomers of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, while nucleic acids consist of monomers of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

2) Carbohydrates have four rings containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, while nucleic acids have subunits containing an amino acid and a phosphate group.

3) Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and have a hydrophobic end and a hydrophilic end, while nucleic acids contain a carbon backbone, a side change, and an amino group.

4) Carbohydrates are made up carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but have no repeating units, while nucleic acids have repeating units of phospholipids, carbon, and an amino group.
