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.

Explanation: DNA polymerase joins nucleotides in one direction (3' to 5')
Answer:
DNA:
- is a single molecule that can be over 10,000,000 nucleotides long
- is usually double stranded
- includes the base thymine
- is the genome for prokaryotic organisms
RNA:
- can be translated into a protein
- is usually single stranded
- includes ribose sugar
- is a single molecule that can form a complex secondary structure
Explanation:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the hereditary genetic material of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, while RNA is the genetic material of many viruses. DNA is a double helix molecule composed of four types of nucleotides: a nitrogenous base (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine), a five-carbon sugar (i.e., deoxyribose), and a phosphate group. On the other hand, RNA is usually a single-stranded molecule whose nucleotides contain ribose sugars and Uracil bases replace Thymine bases. During translation, a type of RNA molecule referred to as messenger RNA (mRNA) is used as template to direct the synthesis of a polypeptide chain (protein). This RNA molecule can fold to form stable double-stranded RNA hairpins (i.e., secondary structures).
