Answer:

Disease caused by close contact or touch

Explanation:

Pathogens are disease-causing organisms. A wide range of organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, helminths could cause diseases in man. The pathogens are grouped into two types-

infectious/contagious/communicable. (e.g.common cold)

non-infectious/non-contagious/noncommunicable(e.g.cancer)

The pathogens transmitted to the host body by touching, coughing, sneezing or by close contact are called as contagions.

The agent which causes diseases by close contact or touch is called contagions

A pathogen is a disease carrying vector that has the ability to spread using a variety of different mechanisms. A pathogen that is a contagion has the ability to spread through touch. An example of such a pathogen would be the one that results in staph infections.

Hydrolysis of which molecule is important for translation initiation, elongation, and termination?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

D. GTP

Explanation:

Initiation of protein synthesis includes binding of mRNA to small ribosome subunit and initiation aminoacyl tRNA. The pairing of the anticodon of the initiating aminoacyl tRNA and initiation codon of mRNA requires GTP hydrolysis and marks the beginning of protein synthesis.  

Elongation stage of protein synthesis requires movement of the ribosome along the mRNA which in turn is facilitated by GTP hydrolysis. As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, the codon of mRNA bind to the respective anticodon of aminoacyl tRNA by using the energy of GTP hydrolysis. The GTPase activity of elongation factor Ef-Tu ensures the fidelity of the process.  

The release factors that recognize the stop codon and serve to mark the termination of protein synthesis use the energy of GTP hydrolysis during the process.
