Answer:

to speed up cellular processes, structure

Explanation:

Typically proteins are not used for energy in organisms. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the cellular processes in our bodies. Proteins are also needed for the structure and function of body tissues and organs. Proteins do not store genetic information, that is DNA's job.

Answer:

Considered "the building blocks" of living organisms, proteins direct many of the most basic functions in organisms from the transport of oxygen, to the building of tissues to the replication of DNA. These large molecules are found in all of the cells in the human body.

Explanation:

Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs.

Can someone explain the process of RNA editing?
Talja [164]
The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:<em><u /><u>Substitution</u> <u>editing </u></em>and <u><em>Insertion/</em></u><em></em><u><em>deletion</em></u><em> <u>editing</u></em>.

<u><em>Substitution editing</em></u> is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:

*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.

*<em />adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.<span>Thus a CAG codon</span><span> (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).

<em><u>*Insertion/deletion editing</u></em><em><u /></em><u /> is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.

These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.</span>
