A portion of an mRNA attached to a ribosome reads: 5 GACCAUUUUUGA 3

Answer:

The correct answer is a) a) phenylalanine

Explanation:

Every triplet codon in the mRNA codes for an amino acid. These amino acids are attached to the acceptor arm of a tRNA. Each tRNA carries a specific amino acid according to the sequence of anticodon it has which is complementary to the triplet codon present on mRNA.

A new tRNA enters through A site of a ribosome and P site is occupied by a previous tRNA. Therefore a new tRNA binds to the next three triplet codon of mRNA when it moves towards the P site.

CAU is the codon that codes for histidine(5 GACCAUUUUUGA 3) amino acid and in the question P site have tRNA with histidine as attached amino acid so the next three codons are UUU(5 GACCAUUUUUGA 3) which codes for phenylalanine so a tRNA that have attached phenylalanine will enter through A site of the ribosome.

Answer:

a) phenylalanine

Explanation:

A triplet codon results into a particular amino acid. mRNA is read in 5' to 3' direction during translation. tRNA carrying an amino acid enters the A site first. Then a peptide bond is formed between the new and old amino acid. The polypeptide along with the tRNA moves to P site while the now empty old tRNA moves from P to E site and exits. Hence a tRNA is first in A site followed by P site and then finally E site.

Here, a tRNA with histidine amino acid is present in the P site. From the given sequence, only CAU codon can result into histidine. So if CAU region is present in P site that means that UUU will be present in A site. UUU codes for phenylalanine amino acid so the tRNA entering the A site will carry phenylalanine.

Autotrophs that utilize light as their energy source are
k0ka [10]

The correct answer is - phototrophs.

Some of the autotrophs are able to convert the electromagnetic energy from the sunlight into chemical energy in the form of reduced carbon (C). The autotrophs that are able to perform this are called phototrophs. The green plants and the algae are the most prominent members of the phototroph autotrophs.

In essence, the autotrophs are producers, meaning that they are able to produce their own food. The phototrophs are the part of the autotrophs that are able to use the sunlight to produce small amounts of ATP as well as the energy carrier NADHP. By producing the ATP and the NADHP the phototrophs manage to produce glucose, or rather sugars, which are actually their food.

Answer:

5- action potential 6- receptors 7- calcium ions 8- sarcolemma

Explanation:

This description illustrates the pathway of a action potential traveling along a neuro-muscular junction. this functions as a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fibre. It allow the motor neuron to transmit a signal/action potential to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction.

The process of protein denaturation Multiple Choice: a) is only possible in proteins with quaternary structure. b) is permanent
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Protein generally are very sensitive macro molecules; they have specific temperatures and pH that are ideal for their operations, this is especially true for proteins that act as enzymes in biochemical reactions.

There are four different types of structures that a protein can assume, these are primary, secondary, tertiary and Quaternary structure. The structure of a protein determines the kind of function it can perform.

There are some factors that can destroy the structure and functions of proteins, these include excessive heat and pH. A protein is said to be denatured when its secondary and tertiary structure have been disrupted or destroyed. Denaturation does not affect the primary structure of the protein, thus, the peptide bond remains intact.

Denaturation is usually temporary and can be reversed if the factors that cause denaturation is removed, this process is called RENATURATION. Renaturation process allow the protein to refold and resume its functions.  But sometimes,  denaturation  can be permanent and irreversible leading to permanent loss of protein functions.
