A codon is a sequence of three bases found on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is translated to produce an amino acid. Each amino acid is coded by one or more specific codons. If the codon is changed through a mutation, the amino acid produced may be different. However, in this case, the other codons that produce Leucine are:
UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG
So the code CUU could mutate to CUC, CUA or CUG and leucine would still be produced.
Answer: true
Explanation:
Only the mRNA made from the DNA takes part in the protein synthesis
Cellular respiration takes glucose and oxygen and converts it into carbon dioxide, water and ATP (energy).
Answer: the answer would be snythesis (d)
Explanation:
Answer:
All enzymes are mostly protein, but many are only protein. These enzymes are known as simple enzymes. Enzymes that contain other things, “complex enzymes,” are called holoenzymes. A holoenzyme has two parts. The protein part is called the apoenzyme.
The enzyme substrate complex is a temporary molecule formed when an enzyme comes into perfect contact with its substrate. ... The substrate causes a conformational change, or shape change, when the substrate enters the active site. The active site is the area of the enzyme capable of forming weak bonds with the substrate.
Enzymes are protein molecules in cells which work as biological catalysts. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in the body, but do not get used up in the process, therefore can be used over and over again. Almost all biochemical reactions in living things need enzymes. ... The study of enzymes is called enzymology.
