Nucleotides from RNA
A) are deaminated to form ammonia.
B) can provide sugars for glycolysis, in order to form ATP.
C) can be used to synthesize proteins.
D) cannot be used as a source of energy in place of ATP.
E) cannot be recycled.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nucleotides from RNA can be broken down to provide sugars for glycolysis, which is used to produce ATP. This is known as the salvage pathway, and allows for recycling of nucleotides for energy production. A, C, D, and E are incorrect choices as they do not accurately describe the fate or use of RNA nucleotides.
