Question

Which type of polymer is RNA?

a protein

a nucleic acid

a carbohydrate

a starch

Answer 1

a nucleic acid
Explanation: The nucleic acids, both DNA and RNA, consist of polymers ofnucleotides. The nucleotides are linked covalently between the 3' carbon atom of the pentose and thephosphate group attached to the 5' carbon of the adjacent pentose

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is a nucleic acid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Full form of RNA is ribonucleic acid. It is a nucleic acid which is present in all the living cells.

The role of RNA is basically to act as a messenger which carries instructions from DNA to control the synthesis of proteins.

It is a polymer of nucleic acid. There are 4 nucleic acids which combine to form RNA. The four nucleic acids are: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Uracil (U) and Cytosine (C).

Adenine bonds with Uracil and Guanine bonds with Cytosine.

Hence, the correct answer is a nucleic acid.
