Answer:

Uracil

Explanation:

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids with similar structures, but they have a few key differences.

RNA is primarily single stranded, whereas DNA forms a double-stranded helix.

The sugar backbone in a DNA molecule is deoxyribose, whereas in RNA it is ribose.

The nucleotides that make up DNA molecules are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine, whereas nucleotides that make up RNA are slightly different, adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine.

In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine, and guanine pairs with cytosine.

In RNA, adenine pairs with uracil, and guanine pairs with cytosine.

What are some activities that cells engage in that require energy? And from where do cells obtain the energy they need to make A

malfutka [58]

Some activities that cell requires energy may include cell division, active transport, protein synthesis etc.
In human, Cells get their energy by the food we eat. The nutrients in the food breaks down into soluble and simple molecules in stomach and small intestine and it is absorbed through the small intestine and assimilated into the cells, becoming part of it, providing the uses for each type of nutrient. And of course, many of them is the energy source.
