Question

Ribose sugar is present in

• A. RNA polymerase, RNA and ATP
• B. RNA only
• C. RNA polymerase and ATP
• D. RNA and ATP

Answer 1

The correct option is D RNA and ATP

Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides. Ribonucleic acids (RNA) are polymers of ribonucleotides. Ribonucleotides are made up of the ribose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and phosphoric acid. The ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a ribonucleotide. Other ribonucleotides in RNA are UTP, GTP, and CTP.

So, the correct answer is option D.
