Respuesta :

The answer would be Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acids is  NOT found in a typical cell membrane.

What is the Nucleic acids?

There are two types of nucleic acid; ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

They are both made up of ribose/pentose sugar, nitrogenous base and phosphate group.

The ribose sugar of the DNA is one oxygen less than the ribose sugar of the RNA hence the reason for the name "deoxyribose".

There are five nitrogenous bases namely; adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. They both contain adenine, guanine and cytosine; however, the DNA contains thymine while the RNA contains uracil. Of the five bases, adenine and guanine are the purines (have a double ring structure) while the rest are pyrimidines (have a single ring structure).

The phosphate group here is negatively charged.

Thus, option "D" is correct.
