The correct answer is "C."
mRNA stands for messenger Ribonucleic acid. The role of mRNA is to carry genetic information for the synthesis of protein from the nucleus after transcription.
After the transcription process is over, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where translation of this information takes place.
The ribosomes are the work bench of the cell. They receive the mRNA with its coded information, read it and translate it and with the help of tRNA (transfer RNA), amino acids are fetched from the cytoplasm and linked together to form the exact protein that was coded for on the mRNA.
Photosynthetis, burning of fossil fuels, plant respiration.
Answer:
The correct answer would be calcium ion and cAMP.
Secondary messengers refers to the intracellular signaling molecules which pass the signals from the receptors located on the surface of the cell to the target molecule present within the cell.
The secondary messengers can be classified into three major class:
- Cyclic nucleotide for example cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate)
- DAG (diacylglycerol) and IP₃ (inositol triphosphate)
- Calcium ions (Ca⁺⁺)
Hence, from the given options, calcium ion and cAMP would make the correct choice.
B. Forming a capsid
This is because we know that the main function of lipids is to store energy. They also provide insulation for the cell because they make up the cell membrane. Therefore, we can use process of elimination to see that lipids do not form capsids.
