Answer:

The provided events can be classified as:

Initiation

  • In prokaryotes, the Shine-Dalgarno sequence pairs with rRNA.
  • In E. coli, mRNA binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit.

Elongation

  • In E. coli, EF-Tu delivers an aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome
  • Initiator tRNA enters the P site.
  • In E. coli, EF-Tu hydrolyzes.
  • Translocation occurs

Termination

  • The ribosome has mRNA, an empty A site, and deacylated tRNA in the P site

Translation is the process by which polypeptide chain is synthesized based on the codon sequence of the mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid).

It is divided into three stages:

Initiation: The small and large sub-units of the ribosome get assembled around the initiation codon. It forms three sites (A, P, and E site) for interaction tRNA and mRNA.

Elongation: Specific charged-tRNA enters from A site and transfers its amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain in P site. Uncharged tRNA exit from the E site. Ribosome moves or translocates to the next  codon.

Termination: As soon as ribosome reaches the termination codon, it releases the newly synthesized polypeptide chain.

Why are lipids unique when compared to the other macromolecule groups?
Veronika [31]
Lipids are unique because, they are made from one carbon skeleton unlike the other macro molecules groups which are made from smaller building blocks.
With the exception of steroid hormones, lipids are generally hydrophobic. Also lipids are relative small molecules when compare in size with other macromolecules.
