Which statement describes one way that rna differs from dna? one is a protein, and the other is a nucleic acid. they contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base. they are both carbohydrates, but one is a polysaccharide. one provides energy, and the other carries genetic information.

The correct statement is - they contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.

Explanation:

DNA or deoxyribose nucleic acid and RNA or ribose nucleic acid both are nucleic acids almost similar structurally, however, there are few fundamental differences in them.

DNA has double-stranded nucleic acid while RNA has a single-stranded.

RNA has ribose pentose sugar while DNA has a deoxyribose sugar.

RNA nucleotides have a uracil nitrogen base while DNA has thymine.

Thus, the correct statement is that they contain different five-carbon sugars and a different nitrogenous base.
