1) Mitochondria - b) Breaks down sugars to release energy.

2) Cytoplasm - d) Jelly like substance that fills each cell.

3) Cell Membrane - a) Surrounds the cell and lets materials into and out of the cell.

4) Nucleus - c) The control center of the cell, containing DNA and genetic material.

B. Carry heredity information

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are one of the four types of biological molecules in nature. The other three being: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids. Nucleic acids consists of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA).

DNA is a nucleic acid found in the NUCLEUS of eukaryotic cells or nucleoid region of prokaryotic cells where it functions to store or hold genetic information for the cell. On the other hand, RNA functions to carry the stored information in order to be expressed. Hence, according to this question, the nucleic acid functions to carry heredity information.
