Hydrolysis of which molecule is important for translation initiation, elongation, and termination?

Biology
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. GTP

Explanation:

Initiation of protein synthesis includes binding of mRNA to small ribosome subunit and initiation aminoacyl tRNA. The pairing of the anticodon of the initiating aminoacyl tRNA and initiation codon of mRNA requires GTP hydrolysis and marks the beginning of protein synthesis.  

Elongation stage of protein synthesis requires movement of the ribosome along the mRNA which in turn is facilitated by GTP hydrolysis. As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, the codon of mRNA bind to the respective anticodon of aminoacyl tRNA by using the energy of GTP hydrolysis. The GTPase activity of elongation factor Ef-Tu ensures the fidelity of the process.  

The release factors that recognize the stop codon and serve to mark the termination of protein synthesis use the energy of GTP hydrolysis during the process.

Difference between cisgender and transgender
andre [41]
Transgender is a broad category referring to anybody whose gender identity, the gender they psychologically feel like they are, doesn't match their assigned sex, the gender defined by their physical traits.

Cisgender and cissexual are the same thing. It is the opposite of transgender. While a transgender person disagrees with their assigned sex, a cisgender/cissexual person identifies as their assigned sex.

(Experiment 1: Diffusion through a liquid) Does the rate of diffusion correcspond with the molecular weight of the dye?
saveliy_v [14]
The answer to this question would be: False

The rate of diffusion should not be influenced by molecular weight. Big molecule might not be able to pass the membrane though.
Diffusion happens when there is a difference/gradient in the concentration of the molecules. If the difference is higher, then the diffusion rate will be increased.
