Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

In the past, scientists believed that DNA was stored in proteins. Today we know that this is not true. The DNA is stored in the cell nucleus.

Proteins have an extensive list of functions in the body and are found in all cell structures, interstitial substances, antibodies, among others. Among the functions that can be attributed to proteins, its role in transporting oxygen (hemoglobin), in protecting the body against pathogenic organisms (antibodies), as a catalyst for chemical reactions (enzymes), membrane receptor, acting in contraction muscle (actin and myosin), besides being fundamental for the growth and formation of hormones.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) chemicals contain carbon, chlorine and fluorine and is t so expensive at the same time it’s not flammable, the reason why it is mainly used in business such as refrigerators and plastics. However, these chemicals destroys our stratosphere, the second layer of the Earth’s atmosphere and protects us by blocking the ultraviolet radiation (UV Light). This type of radiation can seep through organisms skins and can leave destructive effects on DNA molecules which will also cause skin cancer.
