It could be considered living only if it has some of the other characteristics of life...
Such as: obtaining energy, metabolism, excretion of wastes, move or respond to environment (stimuli), reproduction or binary fission, evolution
It differs from DNA chemically in two respects: (1) the nucleotides in RNAare ribonucleotides—that is, they contain the sugar ribose (hence the name ribonucleic acid) rather than deoxyribose; (2) although, like DNA,RNA contains the bases adenine (A), guanine (G), and cytosine (C), it contains the base uracil (U) .
Sugar molecules (i.e. glucose) are broken down into simpler molecules such as pyruvate. Pyruvate, in the presence of oxygen will be converted to Acetyl-CoA and it will enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle wherein it will produce series of reducing compounds such as NADH and FADH. These reducing compounds are then processed in the electron transport chain and oxidized, and the energy released in the oxidation of NADH and FADH is transferred to the high energy phosphate bond of adenosine triphosphate or ATP.
