Answer: a. Rubisco

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a way of making organic molecules from carbon dioxide (CO2). To build organic molecules, cells use raw materials provided by the light reactions. 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase, also known as Rubisco, is the enzyme needed for carbon fixation during the Calvin cycle. This enzyme is found in the stromal space of the chloroplast. It acts by adding CO2 to the 5-carbon sugar ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate forming 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate.

What significance do the bases AUG, or UGA have? hint use decoder chart needed. A. a. the first one is a start codon and the sec
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The importance of the AUG and UGA bases lies in the fact that the first one is a start codon and the second one is a stop codon, respectively (option a).

Explanation:

Codons or triplets are sequences of three nitrogenous bases, in the mRNA, that determine the synthesis of a specific amino acid.

  • <em>AUG </em><em>is called the </em><em>initiation or start codon</em><em>, and is usually at the beginning of a peptide synthesis, in addition to encoding the amino acid methionine. </em>
  • <em>UGA</em><em> is a</em><em> termination or stop codon</em><em> found at the end of a petid chain when it is complete.  UAA and UAG codons are also STOP or termination codons and, together with UGA, do not code for amino acids.</em>

The biological importance of start and stop codons is to initiate the synthesis of a protein and to stop the addition of amino acids when their size is adequate.
