Answer:
The provided events can be classified as:
Initiation
- In prokaryotes, the Shine-Dalgarno sequence pairs with rRNA.
- In E. coli, mRNA binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit.
Elongation
- In E. coli, EF-Tu delivers an aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome
- Initiator tRNA enters the P site.
- In E. coli, EF-Tu hydrolyzes.
- Translocation occurs
Termination
- The ribosome has mRNA, an empty A site, and deacylated tRNA in the P site
Translation is the process by which polypeptide chain is synthesized based on the codon sequence of the mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid).
It is divided into three stages:
Initiation: The small and large sub-units of the ribosome get assembled around the initiation codon. It forms three sites (A, P, and E site) for interaction tRNA and mRNA.
Elongation: Specific charged-tRNA enters from A site and transfers its amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain in P site. Uncharged tRNA exit from the E site. Ribosome moves or translocates to the next codon.
Termination: As soon as ribosome reaches the termination codon, it releases the newly synthesized polypeptide chain.
Answer:
- A, B, C and D are: elements or molecules
- A and B are: reactants
- C and D are: products
Explanation:
The expression "A + B <--> C + D" represents a chemical equation. A chemical equation represents the "mixture" of molecules or elements that will react and form other molecules and elements, so we can say that A, B, C and D represent molecules or elements.
But not only that. In a chemical equation, the elements and molecules that are before the symbol "<-->" represent the reagents in the equation. Therefore, A and B are the reagents. The elements or molecules found after the symbol "<-->" are the products of the reaction. Therefore, C and D are the products.
