Complete question:

A. With an input of energy, ADP rearranges to become ATP.

B. Without any energy change, ADP rearranges to become ATP.

C. With an input of energy, ADP combines with a phosphate group to become ATP.

D. With a release of energy, ADP combines with a phosphate group to become ATP.

Explanation:

C. With an input of energy, ADP combines with a phosphate group to become ATP.

In respiration, energy is released when a phosphate group is removed from ATP; ATP is formed from the phosphorylation of ADP with an inorganic phosphate, Pi, which forms an unstable, high energy phosphate bond.

ADP + inorganic phosphate (Pi) + energy → ATP

Further Explanation:

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water- a process called chemiosmosis.

Complete question:

Use the sequence below to answer the following questions

3’-ACGGATCCTCCCTAGTGCGTAATACG-5’

5’-TGCCTAGGAGGGATCACGCATTATGC-3’

1. Enter the sequence of the coding strand with a 5’-3’ polarity

Answer:

coding strand → 5´- GCATAATGCGTGATCCCTAGGCA -3´

Explanation:

When referring to the coding strand, we are talking about the sequence that turns to be the same as the mRNA that results from the transcription of the same DNI segment -switching bases T for U-.

The coding strand receives that name because it is the sequence that codes for each amino acid composing the proteins.

When the DNI molecule separates into two strands to form the transcription bubble, we can identify two separate segments: coding strand and template strand.

The coding strand goes in direction 5´ to 3´, while the complementary strand -template strand- grows in direction 3´ to 5´.

Whenever we have a DNI molecule and we need to determine which strand is the coding one, we just need to look for the presence/absence of start or stop codons.

So, in the exposed example we have two strands, but we do not know yet which one is the coding one.

Conventionally, the first strand is always the coding one. However, let us analyze it by using the presence/absence of codons.

First-strand:

3’-ACGGATCCTCCCTAGTGCGTAATACG-5’

let us write it is 5´to 3´direction

5´- GCATAATGCGTGATCCCTAGGCA -3´

now let us identify the start and stop codons in 5´⇒3´direction.

Start codon ⇒ ATG
Stop codon ⇒ TAA, TAG, TGA

5´- GCATAATGCGTGATCCCTAGGCA -3´ ⇒ 1 start codon at the beginning

5´- GCATAATGCGTGATCCCTAGGCA -3´ ⇒ 3 Stop codons

Second strand: We will do exactly the same procedure

5’-TGCCTAGGAGGGATCACGCATTATGC-3’⇒ 1 start codon near the end

5’-TGCCTAGGAGGGATCACGCATTATGC-3’⇒ 1 stop codon at the beginning

What we did here was to identify in both provided strands, where the start and stop codons are placed. We can see that in the first strand we have the start codon near the beginning, while in the second strand we have it near the end of the sequence. From this information, we can assume that the first strand is the coding one. However, you need to know that some coding sequences do not have start and stop sequences, because they might correspond to a sequence in the middle of a gene.

So, the sequence of the DNA coding strand with a 5-3 polarity is

5´- GCATAATGCGTGATCCCTAGGCA -3´
