From the Biology book I have studied in my 9th grade schooling...
RNA polymerase is an enzyme much like that of DNA polymerase. Both enzymes, RNA and DNA polymerase, "unzip" the DNA. (Keep in mind that DNA is in the shape of a double helix, so think of it as a twisted ladder being sawed straight down the middle.)
Now, hold on, first you need to know more about DNA to understand how RNA polymerase is used in making RNA.
-DNA is made up of two Pairs of Nucleotides stacked on top of one another, and each parallel to the other... bonded in the middle with weak hydrogen bonds, like so..
(untwist the Double helix and you'd get this...)

-Nucleotides are three part units (bolded above) made of... a Phosphate (P), a Five-carbon Sugar (S), and a Nitrogenous Base (N). ("-" Is the weak hydrogen bond between the Nitrogenous Bases.)
Explanation for Each...
-(S), The Five Carbon Sugar in DNA, is deoxyribose (it's ribose, like in RNA, but with one less oxygen molecule). Hence we get the term DNA, DeoxyriboNucleic Acid, from... DNA's five carbon sugar, it's location in the Nucleus, and the fact that it (it has a pH level of less than 6) is an Acid.
-(P), The Phosphate, Just sits there in my opinion. I don't know much about it.
-(N), The Nitrogenous Base. Nitrogenous Bases can be four different types in DNA:
Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C)
RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for binding to DNA and synthesizing a complementary RNA strand during transcription.
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that makes mRNA from a strand of DNA.
How energy for movement RNA polymerase on DNA provide
Transcription is the process that involves RNA polymerase. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds to a DNA template and synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule. This RNA molecule serves as a template for protein synthesis.
RNA Polymerase
DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for binding to DNA and synthesizing a complementary RNA strand during transcription.
There are three different types of RNA polymerases in eukaryotic cells: RNA polymerase I, II, and III. Each type is responsible for transcribing a specific set of genes. RNA polymerase I transcribes ribosomal RNA genes, RNA polymerase II transcribes protein-coding genes, and RNA polymerase III transcribes small structural RNA genes. The promoters for each type of RNA polymerase are different and contain specific sequences that are recognized by the polymerase to initiate transcription.
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that makes mRNA from a strand of DNA.

The RNA polymerase binds to the promoter. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
No, DNA polymerase is not used in the process of transcription. Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene from DNA, and it is carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. DNA polymerase is primarily involved in the process of DNA replication.
rna polymerase
The enzyme RNA polymerase transcribes DNA. This enzyme initiates transcription, joins the RNA nucleotides together, and terminates.
Transcription is the process that involves RNA polymerase. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds to a DNA template and synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule. This RNA molecule serves as a template for protein synthesis.
Yes, transcription requires RNA polymerase for the synthesis of RNA molecules.
