Lesson: Types of RNA Biology • Third Year of Secondary School

Join Nagwa Classes

Attend live Biology sessions on Nagwa Classes to learn more about this topic from an expert teacher!

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the components that make up RNA molecules and differentiate between tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA.

Students will be able to

state the components of an RNA molecule as being nucleotides, with the nitrogenous bases AUGC,
compare and contrast the structures of RNA and DNA, including which pentose sugar is in the nucleotides, the formation of double or single strands, and the difference between the nitrogenous bases,
describe and identify the structures of tRNA and mRNA,
recall the roles of tRNA and mRNA in translation and the role of rRNA in forming ribosomes.
