Controlling the rates of transcription and translation is important in bacteria to avoid collisions between ribosomes and rna po

lymerases. calculate what the maximum rate of translation by a ribosome in a bacterial cell would have to be, in units of amino acids per second, so as not to overtake an rna polymerase that is transcribing mrna at a rate of 60 nucleotides per second.

The right answer is 20 aminoacids per second.

Transcription is a mechanism for synthesizing RNA from DNA.

Translation is a mechanism for synthesizing a polypeptide sequence from mRNA by converting the nucleotide triplet (codons) to amino acids.

So if one amino acid corresponds to three nucleotides. The polypeptide synthesis rate should be 20 amino acids per second for 60 nucleotides per second.

3 nucleotides ==> 1 amino acid

60 nucleotides ==> 60/3 = 20 amino acids.

MrRissso [65]

The components that are part of the bone matrix are as follows:

  • Osteoid
  • Calcium salts

<h3>What is the bone matrix?</h3>

The bone matrix is that part of the bone tissue that forms most of the mass of the bone.

The bone matrix is comprised of organic and inorganic substances. The organic component of the bone matrix includes the following:

  • collagen
  • ground substance

However, the inorganic component is mainly;

inorganic bone salts

hydroxyapatite

Therefore, the components that are part of the bone matrix are as follows:

  1. Osteoid

Is plasma television good for the environmental impact of the materials/chemicals used in them
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Welcome to the promised follow-up to our previous examination of the digital television revolution. This week we finally take an opportunity for tortured reference to the revolution being digitized. I suppose everyone is probably making that joke. You heard it here last.

To recap the situation as seen from television-free floor 2B: there are around 275 million TVs in the U.S. These historically were cathode-ray sets receiving analog signals. All stations are to convert to digital signal by mid-June, hastening the obsolescence of analog-only CRTs, the sale of digital converter sets, and the potential change to LCD, plasma, or rear-projection televisions. Last time we learned that CRT recycling is possible and urgent, that Energy Star certifies digital converter boxes, and that Umbra thinks Jon Stewart is cute. Luckily for me I can watch his digital likeness over the internets.

In the given case, one may suspect for an orbital fracture.  

An orbital fracture refers to a traumatic injury to the eye socket bone. These injuries are generally the outcome of blunt force trauma to the eye. There are three prime kinds of orbital fractures, which can take place:  

1. Orbital rim fractures take place in the eye socket's bony outer edges.  

2. The blowout fractures take place when the rim remains intact, however, a crack produces in the wafer-thin bone, which forms the eye socket floor.  

3. Direct orbital fractures refer to the rim fractures, which have elongated into the floor.
