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. they are both carbohydrates, but one is a polysaccharide. one provides energy, and the other carries genetic information.

Explanation:

RNA and DNA are nucleic acids. One key difference is that they contain different five - carbon sugars (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) and different nitrogenous bases (RNA has uracil instead of thymine in DNA).
