Answer:
An anabolic reaction can be described as a reaction in which reactants join to form products. In the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water molecules join to build up glucose molecules hence, it is an anabolic reaction.
The catabolic reaction can be described as a reaction in which large molecules are broken down into smaller substances. In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Hence, cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction.
The equations of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are exactly opposite to one another. Hence, holding a connection. The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration and vice versa.
Answer:
The presence of a stop codon—UAA, UAG or UGA—in the A site of the ribosome is generally a signal to terminate protein synthesis. This process constitutes the last essential stage of translation, as it ensures the formation of full-sized proteins
Answer:
DNA ligase
Explanation:
DNA replication is an enzyme mediated, 3-step process during which the DNA molecule produces a copy of itself. The 3 steps involved are as follows;
- initiation
- elongation
- termination
<em>Initiation </em>involves the unwinding of the double helix structure of the DNA using DNA helicase enzyme
<em>Elongation</em> involves binding of RNA primer to the DNA strands and addition of bases to the primer<em> </em>to elongate the new chains. Bases are added to the leading strand continuously while the lagging strand is replicated in short segments (okazaki segments).
<em>Termination</em> involves the unbinding of RNA primer and substitution of its bases by DNA bases. The Okazaki fragments are then joined together using the DNA ligase enzyme.
<em>The short, numerous segments of DNA observed in the mixture is the Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand. This is due to the absence of the enzyme involved in the joining of these fragments.</em>
Hence, the answer is DNA ligase.
