The Structure of DNA and RNA – Introductory Biology The Structure of RNA There is a second nucleic acid in all cells called ribonucleic acid, or RNA Like DNA, RNA is a polymer of nucleotides Each of the nucleotides in RNA is made up of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group In the case of RNA, the five-carbon sugar is ribose, not deoxyribose
RNA: Properties, Structure, Composition, Types, Functions RNA (Ribonucleic acid) is a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule and made up of ribonucleotides A ribose nucleotide in the chain of RNA consists of a ribose sugar, phosphate group, and a base
