Question

which statement describes one way that rna differs from dna?
one is a protein, and the other is a nucleic acid.
they contain different five - carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.

Explanation:

• RNA and DNA are both nucleic acids, not one a protein and the other a nucleic acid.
• DNA has deoxyribose (a five - carbon sugar) and thymine (a nitrogenous base). RNA has ribose (a five - carbon sugar) and uracil (a nitrogenous base). So they contain different five - carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.

Answer:

They contain different five - carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.
