That monster is 48 letters long, still smoking the longest English words by a lot. We promised help pronouncing the formerly-longest German word at the beginning of the article, so here it is. Let us know how you do in the comments below! Share 0
Ribonucleic acid, or RNA is one of the three major biological macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life (along with DNA and proteins). central tenet of molecular biology states that the flow of genetic information in a cell is from DNA through RNA to proteins: âDNA makes RNA makes proteinâ.
DNA and RNA are nucleic acids found in the cells of living organisms. DNA is a two-stranded molecule consisting of a deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule with ribose as its sugar component. There are three primary types of RNA: messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA). Another kind of RNA is small nuclear RNA, or snRNA, which is involved in altering an RNA transcript. Proteins are one of the vital biomolecules of life.
