Which statement describes one way that rna differs from dna?
a.) one is a protein, and the other is a nucleic acid.
b.) they contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.
c.) they are both carbohydrates, but one is a polysaccharide.
d.) one provides energy, and the other carries genetic information.

the answer is B choice 2

Option-B

Explanation:

Both DNA and RNA are the nucleic acid which is composed of nucleotide monomers.  The nucleotide monomers are composed of a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar and different nitrogenous bases.

The DNA and RNA differ from each other as:

1. Sugar- The sugar in RNA is ribose whereas, in DNA, the sugar is called the deoxyribose as oxygen is released from the 2'OH group in the structure.

2. Nitrogenous bases- In DNA there are 4 different bases called- adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine whereas RNA has the same bases except for thymine as it contains uracil instead of thymine.

Thus, Option-B is correct.

1. dermis

2. chemical

3. urine

4. viruses

5. antibodies
