A molecule with the sequence of AUCGUCA should be categorized as ________.
A) ATP
B) an enzyme
C) RNA
D) DNA
E) a triglyceride

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence AUCGUCA is a string of nucleotides which is characteristic of RNA molecules. ATP is a molecule made up of nucleotides, but it has a different sequence and is not considered RNA. Enzymes are not made up of nucleotides and do not have a specific sequence. DNA has the same nucleotides as RNA, but the sequence is slightly different (it includes T instead of U). Triglycerides are completely different types of molecules that are not made up of nucleotides at all.
