-“ribo-nucleic acid” is a ‘polymeric molecule’ essential in various biological roles in [‘coding’ / ‘de-coding’ / ‘regulation’ / ‘expression’] of ‘genes’-
.
(‘RNA’ and ‘DNA’ are ‘nucleic acids’, and, along with ‘lipids’, ‘proteins’, and ‘carbohydrates’, constitute the 4 major ‘macro-molecules’ essential for all known forms of ‘life’)
(like ‘DNA’, ‘RNA’ is assembled as a chain of nucleotides, but unlike DNA it is more often found in nature as a single-strand folded onto itself, rather than a ‘paired double-strand’)
(‘cellular organisms’ use messenger RNA (mRNA) to convey genetic information (using the letters G, U, A, and C to denote the nitrogenous bases guanine, uracil, adenine, and cytosine) that directs synthesis of specific ‘proteins’)
(many viruses encode their genetic information using an ‘RNA genome’)
(some ‘RNA molecules’ play an active role within cells by catalyzing biological reactions, controlling gene expression, or sensing and communicating responses to ‘cellular signals’)
(one of these active processes is protein synthesis, a universal function where RNA molecules direct the assembly of proteins on ‘ribosomes’)
.
(this process uses transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules to deliver amino acids to the ribosome, where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) then links amino acids together to form ‘proteins’)
