Ribose sugar is present in
- A RNA polymerase and ATP
- B RNA and ATP
- C RNA polymerase, RNA and ATP
- D RNA only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) RNA and ATP
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) RNA and ATP,
RNA contains ribose sugar in its nucleotide structure.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) also contains ribose sugar, as it is a nucleoside triphosphate. RNA polymerase is an enzyme and does not itself contain ribose sugar, although it interacts with RNA which does. Thus, ribose sugar is present in both RNA and ATP
