RNA is ribonucleic acid. It is a nucleic acid just as DNA. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. It actually has to do with OH groups on the sugars ribose and deoxyribose. In higher organisms, RNA functions: to carry the message from DNA, to carry an amino acid, and in the make up of organelles called ribosomes.

What acid makes rna?
RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
What does the R stand for in RNA?
RNA is Ribonucleic Acid, so I suppose the R stands for "Ribo". This refers to the type of sugar found in the acid's backbone (Ribose).
Which enzyme transcribes DNA into mRNA?
rna polymerase
What are the basic structural units of Dna and Rna molecules?
Answer: The basic unit of DNA and RNA is nucleic acid. Notice DNA and RNA both end in NA that is because NA stands for nucleic acid. The D in DNA stand for Deoxyribo. And the R in RNA stands for ribo. So DNA's full name is deoxyribo nucleic acid and RNA's full name is ribo nucleic acid.
What type of sugar does RNA and DNA contain?
Nucleic Acids store and transmit hereditary, or genetic,information. There are two types of nucleic acids which are Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonuleic acid (DNA). RNA contains the sugar ribose and DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.
