You don't "turn" it into energy; petroleum HAS stored energy (chemical energy).However, you can turn it into ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY; usually this is done by burning the petroleum, and using it to drive machinery.

Since burning fuels is wasteful (the efficiency is limited, in theory, to the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine), other options are being explored, such as chemical reactions in a fuel cell. But such technology is not yet used on a large scale.

Answer:

Explanation:

Protein synthesis involves two major steps:

<em>Transcription of the DNA to mRNA (a form of RNA)</em>
<em>Translation of the mRNA molecule into a protein.</em>

Transcription involves the formation of a nucleotide sequence complementary to the DNA molecule, with the pairing of a different base, Uracil, with Guanine instead of the usual Thymine base. This occurs in the nucleus of the cell, and the resulting molecule is known as the mRNA.

This mRNA is transported into the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore for the next step, translation. This is primarily accomplished by ribosomes and tRNA molecules which are present in the cytoplasm of the cell. The result of this step is the generation of a protein molecule.
