The answer is C: nucleotides.

Explanation for each option: A. Catalysts - Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. DNA and RNA are not catalysts. B. Lipids - Lipids are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, and fat-soluble vitamins. DNA and RNA are not lipids. C. Nucleotides - Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Therefore, DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides. D. Enzymes - Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. DNA and RNA are not enzymes.

Summary: DNA and RNA are examples of nucleotides.

Hydrogen peroxide can be prepared in several ways. One method is the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, another method is the reaction between water and oxygen. Calculate the ΔGrxn of each reaction using values from the table of thermodynamic properties. (1) H2 (g) + O2(g) ⇌ H2O2 (l) ΔGrxn= □ kJ · mol^(-1) (2) H2O(l) + 1/2 O2(g) ⇌ H2O2(l) ΔGrxn^e= □ kJ · mol^(-1)
