The root cap is a small structure but one that serves a very important function for a plant. Protecting the root apical meristem allows for primary growth in the root, which paves the way for lengthening of the plant as well as cell specialization.
Answer:
OPTION b. "<em>The 3D shape of a protein is determined largely by the ribosome forming the protein" </em>
is NOT an accurate description of protein synthesis and folding.
Explanation:
<em>a. Many copies of a protein can be synthesized simultaneously from the same mRNA</em>. TRUE. As a ribosome moves along the mRNA chain synthesizing a new protein, another ribosome might follow it, synthesizing another protein from the same mRNA chain. And so on. So, at the same time, many ribosomes might be attached to the mRNA, synthesizing many copies of the protein, but at different development levels. The mRNA chain together with many ribosomes is called a <em>polyribosome</em>.
b. <em>The 3D shape of a protein is determined largely by the ribosome forming the protein</em>. FALSE. What determined the 3D structure of the protein is the amino acid sequence of that particular polypeptide. Each amino-acid has different properties (hydrophobic, hydrophilic, positively charged, negatively charged) and they interact with each other by different bonds that depend on those poperties. So the amino acids composing the proteins and their interaction, is what models the structure of the protein.
c. <em>The entire chain of amino acid exits the ribosome before it begins folding into its 3D shape</em>. TRUE. When the ribosome reaches the end codon, the elongation process has finished, and the new protein leaves the ribosome and is translocated to the RER lumen where it is going to get folded.
d. <em>The first encoded amino acid in every protein is methionine. </em>TRUE. Almost always, the first amino acid located by the tRNA is the methionine, codified by the initiation codon AUG. This amino acid is frequently eliminated at the end of the process.
Answer:
Plants photosynthesize <em>only in the light but respire in light and dark</em>.
Explanation:
The reactions of photosynthesis occur only during the day. This is because sunlight is used for converting water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose in the presence of sunlight. The light of the sun s the energy force which drives this reaction.
However, the reactions of respiration continue at day and night. The reactions of respiration do not require light energy from the sun.
Answer:
Appendicular skeleton
Explanation:
The carpals are bones that make up part of the hand, so the Appendicular system would be an appropriate answer. The Appendicular system got its name because it is the appendages of the axial skeleton. Your hand (as well as your arms , legs, pelvic girdle, feet,etc.) is considered your appendage so it would make sense for the bones that allow your wrist to move and rotate are considered it as well.
Lipids perform all of these functions except are NOT responsible for creating proteins. The process of protein synthesis, which would involve transcription and translation does not involve lipid molecules being major players in the process.
