D
Monosaccharides
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that RNA is a type of nucleic acid, similar to DNA, and is composed of smaller units called subunits.
Recall that nucleic acids, such as RNA, are polymers made up of monomers known as nucleotides.
Identify the components of a nucleotide, which include a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar (ribose in the case of RNA), and a nitrogenous base.
Differentiate between the options given: amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, fatty acids are components of lipids, and monosaccharides are simple sugars that make up carbohydrates.
Conclude that the correct subunits that make up RNA are nucleotides, as they are the monomers that form the RNA polymer.
