  1. Ribose sugar
  2. Phosphate group
  3. Deoxyribose sugar
  4. Nitrogenous bases

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a component of the RNA structure?
  • Step 1: Understand that RNA is a type of nucleic acid, like DNA.
  • Step 2: Know that both RNA and DNA are made up of smaller units called nucleotides.
  • Step 3: Identify the components of a nucleotide: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the sugar in RNA is called ribose.
  • Step 5: Understand that DNA contains a different sugar called deoxyribose.
  • Step 6: Conclude that since RNA has ribose sugar and not deoxyribose, deoxyribose is NOT a component of RNA structure.
