The ribosome binding signal sequence of the RNA to initiate translation determines whether a ribosome will be free or bound.

Explanation:

Ribosomes help in protein synthesis by participating in translation and linking the amino acids as per the required sequence on the polypeptide chains.  

Free ribosomes are those which synthesize intercellular proteins and bound ribosomes synthesize intracellular proteins.

Ribosomes bind at the ribosome-binding sites located at the mRNA (5’untranslated region) and initiate, regulate, and control the efficiency and accuracy of the translation. This binding site represents upstream of nucleotides with the start codon of mRNA transcript.  

There are four binding points on the ribosomes and one binds to the mRNA and the remaining three binds to the tRNA.

One pyruvate molecule will generate _______ molecules of CO2 after completing the citric acid cycle
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

c) 3

Explanation:

Cellular respiration includes following 3 processes:

1) Glycolysis

2) Citric acid cycle or TCA or Kreb's cycle

3) Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

In glycolysis, a 3 carbon compound known as pyruvate is produced from glucose. Each glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate molecules. Each pyruvate molecule then enters a complex known as Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex wherein the pyruvate molecule further undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to produce a 2 carbon compound known as Acetyl-CoA.

.

The Acetyl-CoA then enters citric acid cycle or TCA or Kreb's cycle wherein this Acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate are oxidized to produce CO₂ molecules in eight steps. Each glucose molecule is capable of producing six CO₂ after the completion of citric acid cycle. Since one glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate molecules then it means <u>a pyruvate molecule will be able to produce three CO₂.</u>
