We would expect that a 15-nucleotide sequence that includes a stop codon at the end (as part of the 15-nucleotide sequence) will

Answer:

4 amino acids.

Explanation:

To become translated into protein, a sequence is read in triplets called codons.

Each codon that codes for an amino acid is made up of 3 nucleotides.

Therefore, a sequence of 15 nucleotides would be translated into a polypeptide that is made up of 5 amino acids. (15 divided by 3 = 5)

However, we are told that there is a stop codon at the end of this sequence.

A stop codon is a specialised codon that does not code for an amino acid, but tells the protein machinery that the polypeptide is complete.

Therefore, the polypeptide would have 5-1 amino acids, which corresponds to 4 amino acids.

Answer:

The ten percent rule, also known as the law of ecological tithe, has to do with the effective transfer of energy that occurs at different trophic levels, corresponding to the use of one tenth of the energy from the immediate previous level.

Explanation:

The 10 percent rule was established by the english naturalist Charles Sutherland Elton, indicating that the <u>transfer of energy from one</u><u> trophic level</u><u> to another is only 10 percent</u>. This means that the level immediately above can only use one tenth of the energy produced by the level before it.

<h3>What percentage of energy a dolphin would have after it ate a fish, that ate an insect, that ate some grass?</h3>

For example, if we say that grass produces 10000 Kcal, the insect that consumes it (primary consumer) will be able to use 1000 Kcal, the fish that consumes insects 100 Kcal and the dolphin that consumes the fish only 100 Kcal.

<em>Grass      →     Insect     →    Fish      →     Dolphin</em>

<em>10000            1000             100                   10</em>

In the end the dolphin, a tertiary consumer, will only be able to produce 10 Kcal, when in the food web the producer had 10,000 Kcal.

The 10 percent rule is not entirely accurate, since the effective transfer can be less or more than 10 percent. However, in most cases, the average energy transfer is around 10%, which complies with the rule.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

D. Porine

Explanation:

Mitochondria are double membrane-bound cell organelles. The outer and inner mitochondrial membranes are quite distinct from each other with respect to their structures and functions. The outer mitochondrial membrane is permeable to small molecules and ions. Permeability of the outer mitochondria membrane is mainly due to the presence of integral membrane protein porins which make transmembrane channels to allow the free movement of these substances across the outer membrane.

On the other hand, the inner membrane is quite impermeable to most small molecules and ions including protons as it does not have porins. A substance can cross the inner membrane only through specific transporters. The inner membrane has the components electron transport chain and the ATP synthase.
