Like DNA, RNA (ribonucleic acid) is essential for all known forms of life. RNA monomers are also nucleotides. Unlike DNA, RNA in biological cells is predominantly a single-stranded molecule. While DNA contains deoxyribose, RNA contains ribose, characterised by the presence of the 2'-hydroxyl group on the pentose ring. This hydroxyl group make RNA less stable than DNA because it is more susceptible to hydrolysis. RNA contains the unmethylated form of the base thymine called uracil.
