It is the major form of RNA in the cell:
Correct answer: A. rRNA
- A. rRNA
- B. tRNA
- C. mRNA
- D. snRNA
Explanation
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the most abundant form of RNA in the cell. It forms the core structural and functional components of ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis. This abundance is due to the large quantity of ribosomes required for protein production. In contrast, transfer RNA (tRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) play specific roles in protein synthesis but are not as abundant as rRNA. Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) is involved in RNA processing, specifically splicing, and is not directly involved in protein synthesis, nor is it the major form of RNA in the cell.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
