RNA interference is a mechanism of eukaryotic gene regulation. In this mechanism, the enzyme “dicer” cuts dsRNA into smaller fragments called siRNA, which form a complex with RISC and degrade specific RNA.
siRNA or small interfering RNA as a part of RISC complex finds and binds to complementary mRNA and it induces the cleavage of mRNA. This causes degradation of that mRNA. This is the way RNA interference prevents translation.
Answer:
In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid. ... In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvate is reduced to alcohol and releases carbon dioxide. This type of fermentation is commonly used with yeast to make alcoholic beverages and cause bread to rise.
Explanation:
Answer:
Killer T cells release enzymes that help destroy invading foreign matter (antigens), Helper T cells, on the other hand, stimulate another type of lymphocyte known as B cells. B cells produce antibody, which is a protein made in response to a specific antigen.
The polluted bacteria and algae interacts with fish and other aquatic wildlife, so they will be negatively impacted by that relationship in this case.
1. An example of secondary consumer is snake. Secondary consumers are the ones who eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivore.
2. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and (some other organisms) that converts water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with the presence of sun energy (collected in the chloroplasts) into chemical energy that is later stored in sugars (carbohydrates). Organisms that do the photosynthesis are called autotrophs (produce food by themselves).
3. The energy pyramid represents energy flow in a community, where the different levels represent different groups of organisms.
The food chain is a circulation of energy that comes from the sun and passes from the producer organisms to the primary consumer, secondary and tertiary consumer organisms.
4. For example, plant is producer that is eaten by primary consumer-herbivore (e.g. bugs). Than secondary consumer-carnivore (e.g. snake) eat that herbivore and than is being eaten by tertiary consumer (apex predator that have no natural predator).
5. One trophic level gets only 10% of the energy of the previous level. So, if the plant have 10.000 units of energy and is eaten by rabbit, rabbit gets 1000 units of energy, and when the fox eats an rabbit, it gets 100 units of energy.
6. Trophic level is the position of an organism in the food chain.
