Well, RNA consist of aminoacids. An aminoacid is built up of three bases, which is a micture of a nucleoside (organic molecule), phosphatgroup and the base (A,T,G,C). This package is also called nucleic acid.

So RNA is built up the same way as DNA, but it's just a helix and not a duople-helix (DNA) and has got the base U instead of the base T. You can see that RNA is a molecule because its built up of molecules.

What is the process by which a molecule of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA occurs where?

The process by which a molecule of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA is called transcription. It occurs in the nucleus of a cell and involves the enzyme RNA polymerase, which reads one strand of the DNA molecule and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand. This new RNA molecule then serves as a template for protein synthesis.


Why does the DNA molecule differs from the RNA molecule?

Generally the DNA molecule is double stranded to RNA's single strand. The RNA molecule uses uracil as a base while the DNA molecule uses thymine. RNA has catabolic properties that allow it to act in things such a ribosomes and tRNA. DNA is just a carrier of the genetic information.
