Answer:

c. A piece of mesh, keeping some things out and letting some things in

Explanation:

The cell membrane of a cell is described as "selectively permeable". Permeable means things can go through it, but the word selectively is the important part. It lets things in, but it also keeps things out. This way it can regulate the different things that go in and out of the cell. It allows certain molecules that provide the cell nourishment and other things that help it function, and at the same time, it allows waste to move out of the cell. Not all needed molecules can go through the "mesh-like" membrane, that why some of them need help.

Answer:

c) 3'-UGUGUGUGUGUGUGUG..-5

a) 3'-GUGUGUGUGUGUGUGU...-5

Explanation:

As you may already know, RNA is a single stranded molecule, unlike DNa which is a double stranded molecule. You should also already know that RNA is synthesized from one of the DNA strands, in a process called genetic transcription.

It is important to note that the ends of the DNA strands have "names", one end is called 5 'while the other end is called 3'. In DNA, the 5 'end of one is paired with the 3' end of the other strand. Both DNA and RNA are synthesized in the 5 '------> 3' direction of DNA. In the case of the RNA molecule, this means that the molecule synthesizes will have the ends of its strand formed in the 3 '----> 5' direction.

Accordingly, if an RNA strand is synthesized with a UG dinucleotide sequence, that strand may have the following orientations:

  • 3'-UGUGUGUGUGUGUGUG..-5
  • 3'-GUGUGUGUGUGUGUGU...-5
