Answer:

c) It provides a site for ribosome binding in the cytoplasm

d) To protect the transcript from degradation

Explanation:

Transcription is the very first stage of gene expression, which involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule from a DNA template. The mRNA transcript produced is referred to as a pre-mRNA until it undergoes further processing in the nucleus. This processing makes it matured and ready to be translated (form protein).

The mRNA processing involves three main processes viz: 5' capping, 3' polyadenylation and splicing. The capping of the 5' of the mRNA involves the addition of a 7-methyl guanosine molecule to the 5' of the mRNA molecule. This capping helps protect the mRNA transcript from being degraded by nucleases (digestive enzymes in the nucleus). In addition to this function, the added CAP also provides a recognition site for ribosome to bind to during translation initiation.

What would happen if a cell did not have mitochondrial
Usimov [2.4K]
Cells that have no mitochondria are unable to convert oxygen into energy, found in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). All multicellular eukaryotic organisms, including plants and animals, have mitochondria in some cells, but prokaryotes and some single-cell eukaryotes do not have mitochondria.

Free palmitate is activated to it's coA derivative(palmitoyl-CoA) in the cytosol before it can be oxidized in the mitochondria.
n200080 [17]

Answer: hydrolysis of intermediate palmitoyl Co A ,with loss of labeled CoA.before reaching the matrix gives the answer

Explanation:

This is because when the labeled Coenzyme A of the Plamitate combines as Palmitoy-CoA with oxaloacetate to form intermediate (palmitoyl-CoA )in Citric Acid cycle:

CoA is hydrolysed with loss of the labelled CoA which returns to the cystosol. Therefore, the labelled CoA does not reach the matrix of the mitochondrial,but returns to the Cystosol.

Consequently, the CoA in the Cystosol will be labelled in palmitoylCoA and the one in the matrix of the liver mitochondrial will be non radioactive(,will not labelled).

Explain the characteristics scientists use when observing organisms and placing them in the six kingdoms .
Doss [256]
Classification of organisms is done while considering many factors such as:Cell type- whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryoticCell structure- This includes both the presence and composition of the cell wallBody type- whether the organism is multicellular or unicellularMode of nutrition- the method through which the organism achieves its nutritional requirement, by consuming other organisms (heterotroph) or making its own food (autotroph)
