what does this acid compose of?
Each nucleotide in RNA contains a ribose sugar, with carbons numbered 1' through 5'. A base is attached to the 1' position, in general, adenine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil.
RNA
Each nucleotide in RNA contains a ribose sugar, with carbons numbered 1' through 5'. A base is attached to the 1' position, in general, adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), or uracil (U).
what nitrogenous bases are found in a molecule of rna (ribonucleic acid) UNANSWERABLE when was this acid first found? 1959 and by whom? Severo Ochoa as he researched on any other things? Yes, he researched "Classical Physiology". can you tell me one way how this acid is different from dna? Unlike DNA, their structures do not consist of long double helices, but rather collections of short helices packed together into structures akin to proteins.

RNA [SEP] Structure
Each nucleotide in RNA contains a ribose sugar, with carbons numbered 1' through 5'. A base is attached to the 1' position, in general, adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), or uracil (U). Adenine and guanine are purines, cytosine and uracil are pyrimidines. A phosphate group is attached to the 3' position of one ribose and the 5' position of the next. The phosphate groups have a negative charge each, making RNA a charged molecule (polyanion). The bases form hydrogen bonds between cytosine and guanine, between adenine and uracil and between guanine and uracil. However, other interactions are possible, such as a group of adenine bases binding to each other in a bulge, or the GNRA tetraloop that has a guanine–adenine base-pair.
