Complete hydrolysis of RNA yields:
- a) a pentose sugar: RNA is composed of ribonucleotides, which consist of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar (ribose), and a phosphate group. During hydrolysis, the ribose sugar is released.
- b) nitrogen-containing base: The nitrogenous bases present in RNA (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil) are also released upon hydrolysis.
- c) phosphoric acid: The phosphate groups that are part of the RNA molecule are hydrolyzed, yielding phosphoric acid.
- d) all of these: Therefore, the complete hydrolysis of RNA yields a pentose sugar, nitrogen-containing bases, and phosphoric acid.
In summary, the hydrolysis of RNA breaks down the molecule into its individual components, including the pentose sugar, nitrogenous bases, and phosphoric acid.
