Ribose plus nitrogenous base plus phosphoric acid is equal to:
Correct answer: C. Ribonucleotide
- A. Deoxyribonucleotide
- B. Deoxyribonucleoside
- C. Ribonucleotide
- D. Ribonucleoside
Explanation
The question describes a combination of ribose, a nitrogenous base, and phosphoric acid. These components together form a ribonucleotide, which is a building block of RNA. Ribonucleotides include a phosphate group, which differentiates them from ribonucleosides, which lack this group. The other options involve deoxyribose, which is part of DNA, not RNA, making them incorrect for this question.

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.
