A thin, slimy film of bacteria that adheres to a surface. The term biofilm is used to denote a polymer-encased community of microbes which accumulates at a surface. Biofilms are responsible for a number of diseases of man and, because of the intrinsic resistance of these structures to antibiotics and host defence systems, such diseases are very difficult to treat effectively.

densk [106]

Answer:

step 1: mRNA attaches to the ribosome

step 2: tRNA's attach to free amino acids in the cytoplasmic "pool" of amino acids

step 3: tRNA carries its specific amino acid to the ribosome

step 4: tRNA "delivers" its amino acid based on complementary pairing of a triplet code (anticodon) with the triplet code (codon) of the mRNA

step 5: Enzyme "hooks" the amino acid to the last one in the chain forming a peptide bond

step 6: Protein chain continues to grow as each tRNA brings in its amino acid and adds it to the chain
