1. Ribonucleic Acid -RNA = ribonucleic acid
-RNA is single-stranded (or half a ladder) and has ribose sugar rather than deoxyribose sugar
-the ribose sugar has an oxygen that deoxyribose does not

2. Ribonucleic Acid -RNA is used for many things:
-mRNA (messenger RNA): codes for protein
-tRNA (transfer RNA): carries amino acids to
the ribosome
-rRNA (ribosomal RNA): the material that
makes up the
structure of ribosomes

3. Ribonucleic Acid
-RNA uses nitrogen bases adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine
-thymine is replaced by uracil and uracil binds to adenine

4. DNA vs RNA
DNA
RNA
