Question

Which statement describes one way that RNA differs from DNA? One is a protein, and the other is a nucleic acid. They contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base. They are both carbohydrates, but one is a polysaccharide. One provides energy, and the other carries genetic information.

Answer 1

They contain five carbon sugars and a different nitrogen base. plz mark brainlyest and i hope i helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct statement is - they contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.

Explanation:

DNA or deoxyribose nucleic acid and RNA or ribose nucleic acid both are nucleic acids almost similar structurally, however, there are few fundamental differences in them.

DNA has double-stranded nucleic acid while RNA has a single-stranded.

RNA has ribose pentose sugar while DNA has a deoxyribose sugar.

RNA nucleotides have a uracil nitrogen base while DNA has thymine.

Thus, the correct statement is that they contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.
