The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ribose Sugar**: Ribose sugar is a five-carbon sugar (pentose) that is a crucial component of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of nucleic acids like RNA and ATP. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides several options: - RNA and ATP - RNA polymerase and ATP - RNA only - RNA polymerase - RNA and ATP (repeated) 3. **Analyzing RNA**: - RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) is a type of nucleic acid that contains ribose sugar as its sugar component. - It consists of ribose sugar, nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil), and a phosphate group. 4. **Analyzing ATP**: - ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell. - It is composed of adenine (a nitrogenous base), ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups. - Thus, ATP also contains ribose sugar. 5. **Analyzing RNA Polymerase**: - RNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template. - It does not contain ribose sugar as part of its structure; it is a protein enzyme. 6. **Conclusion**: - The only options that contain ribose sugar are RNA and ATP. - Therefore, the correct answer is **RNA and ATP**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **RNA and ATP**. ---
