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)
What else can I help you with?
What enzyme binds to DNA and is responsible for making a transcript RNA of DNA?
RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for binding to DNA and synthesizing a complementary RNA strand during transcription.
What is the name of the enzyme that creates mRNA?
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that makes mRNA from a strand of DNA.
What provide energy for RNA polymerase?
How energy for movement RNA polymerase on DNA provide
What process involves RNA polymerase?
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.
What enzyme attaches RNA nucleotides the the exposed 3' end of a growing mRNA transcript?
RNA Polymerase
Is the enzyme that allows replication to occur DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
What enzyme binds to DNA and is responsible for making a transcript RNA of DNA?
RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for binding to DNA and synthesizing a complementary RNA strand during transcription.
What are the different types of RNA polymerases and their promoters?
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.
What is the name of the enzyme that creates mRNA?
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that makes mRNA from a strand of DNA.
What provide energy for RNA polymerase?
How energy for movement RNA polymerase on DNA provide
Where does RNA polymerase blind?
The RNA polymerase binds to the promoter. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
Is DNA polymerase used in the process of transcription?
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.
What enzymes catalyzes the linking together of RNA nucleotides to form RNA a RNA polymerase b tRNA c ribozyme d reverse transcriptase e RNA ligase?
rna polymerase
What enzyme is necessary for transcription?
The enzyme RNA polymerase transcribes DNA. This enzyme initiates transcription, joins the RNA nucleotides together, and terminates.
What process involves RNA polymerase?
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.
Does transcription require RNA polymerase for the synthesis of RNA molecules?
Yes, transcription requires RNA polymerase for the synthesis of RNA molecules.
