It controls the properties and potential activities of the cell:
Correct answer: A. DNA
- A. DNA
- B. RNA
- C. ATP
- D. AMP
Explanation
DNA is the correct answer because it contains the genetic blueprint that determines the properties and potential activities of a cell. DNA's sequences of nucleotides encode the information necessary for building and maintaining an organism, thus controlling all cellular functions. RNA, ATP, and AMP are important molecules within the cell, with RNA involved in protein synthesis and ATP and AMP in energy transfer, but they do not hold the primary role of controlling cell properties and activities.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
