Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that RNA is a type of nucleic acid, which is a macromolecule essential for all known forms of life.
Recognize that nucleic acids are composed of monomers called nucleotides. These nucleotides are the building blocks of RNA.
Identify the components of a nucleotide: a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (ribose in the case of RNA), and a nitrogenous base.
Differentiate between the types of monomers listed: Monosaccharides are simple sugars, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and fatty acids are components of lipids.
Conclude that the correct monomers that make up RNA are nucleotides, as they are the fundamental units of nucleic acids like RNA.
