"nucleic acids store and transmit hereditary, or genetic, information. there are 2 kinds of nucleic acids: ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). as their names indicate, RNA contains the sugar ribose and DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose."
-Prentice Hall: Biology (p.47)
hope this helped
What else can I help you with?
Does protein form RNA?
No, RNA is the cells' chemical messenger that carries instructions from DNA in the nucleus to the rest of the cell about when to make proteins and which ones. DNA makes RNA however the process does involve some enzymes that are proteins
How does nucleotide dehydration synthesis contribute to the formation of DNA and RNA molecules?
Nucleotide dehydration synthesis is a process where nucleotides join together to form DNA and RNA molecules. During this process, a water molecule is removed, allowing the nucleotides to bond together. This contributes to the formation of DNA and RNA by creating the long chains of nucleotides that make up these molecules.
What are the role of pentoses in DNA and RNA molecules?
Pentoses, such as ribose and deoxyribose, are the sugar molecules that make up the backbone of DNA and RNA. They provide the structural framework for genetic information to be stored and transmitted. In DNA, deoxyribose forms the backbone, while in RNA, ribose is used.
Total number of different bases found in rna?
There are four different bases found in RNA: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U). These bases are the building blocks that make up RNA molecules.
What are the three components that make up nucleic acids?
The three components that make up nucleic acids are sugar molecules (ribose or deoxyribose), phosphate groups, and nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine). These components form the building blocks of DNA and RNA molecules.
Which marcomolecules contains sugar ribose?
Ribose is a sugar molecule found in RNA (ribonucleic acid), one of the main types of nucleic acids in cells. It is a key component of the ribose-phosphate backbone that forms the structure of RNA molecules.
What is neleuotide?
Nucleotides are molecules that, when joined together, make up the structural units of RNA and DNA.
What are Four compounds that make up life?
Four basic molecules are Carbohydrates, Lipids, Protein, and DNA/RNA
What is nucliotide?
Do you mean "nucleotide"? Nucleotides are molecules that, when joined together, make up the structural units of RNA and DNA.
Does protein form RNA?
No, RNA is the cells' chemical messenger that carries instructions from DNA in the nucleus to the rest of the cell about when to make proteins and which ones. DNA makes RNA however the process does involve some enzymes that are proteins
What types of molecules make up cells?
well when a cell produces a material needed in another cell or part of body, it's the Golgi apperatus' job to ship it out to bloodstream, but within the cell it's the endoplasmic reticulum i believe
What small molecules up proteins?
The smaller molecules make up amino acidsAmino acids form the building blocks of proteins. RNA (three kinds) actually do the building.Amino acids
Amino acids are picked up by special RNA molecules called?
transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. These molecules have a specific sequence that matches with the codons on messenger RNA (mRNA) to ensure the correct amino acid is added during protein synthesis.
Are DNA and RNA molecules considered monomers or polymers?
They are considered polymers. The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
How does nucleotide dehydration synthesis contribute to the formation of DNA and RNA molecules?
Nucleotide dehydration synthesis is a process where nucleotides join together to form DNA and RNA molecules. During this process, a water molecule is removed, allowing the nucleotides to bond together. This contributes to the formation of DNA and RNA by creating the long chains of nucleotides that make up these molecules.
How many different types of RNA are there in protein synthesis?
There are three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome, transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome, and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) along with proteins make up the ribosome where protein synthesis occurs.
Is a phosphate DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA contain a sugar phosphate group as the backbone to their structure. In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose, where as in RNA it is just ribose.
