"ricin inhibits the functioning of ribosomes. What part of protein synthesis would be affected by ricin? What effect would this

have on a cell's ability to synthesize proteins?"

Ricin comes under the category of functionally related toxins, in a combination known as RIPs (ribosome inactivating proteins). This disables ribosomes and stops the process of protein synthesis.  

They directly associate with and inactivate the ribosomes or modify the factors taking part in the process of translation, generally the elongation step. These proteins bring about depurination of adenine at position 4324 in the 28 S rRNA.  

This further inhibits the generation of a critical-stem-loop configuration to which the elongation factor is considered to combine at the time of the translocation step of translation. The ultimate outcome of this activity is the complete inhibition of cellular translation.

How much chemical energy (stored as biomass) is available to primary consumers from 10,000 kcal of primary productivity?
atroni [7]
The answer is “d” (1,000 kcal). As the trophic level increases energy is decreases by 10 times that of the previous level. If a system has 10,000 kcal, then the primary consumer have 10 times less (10,000/10) which is 1,000 kcal. The secondary consumers have 100 kcal and the tertiary have 10 kcal. Only 10% of the energy at each trophic level goes on to the next.

Answer:

The correct answer is D sister chromatids;centromere

Explanation:

After DNA replication during s phase or synthesis phase of interphase of the cell cycle,each chromosome has a copy and the cell that is newly formed is now 4n.

      We cal these identical pairs sister chromatids and they are held together by a centromere

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating _______, which then undergoes _______ to _______, then to _
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which then undergoes phosphorylation to deoxythymidine diphosphate (dTDP), then to Deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP), and incorporated into DNA by the DNA polymerase (DNA pol). Thymine in tRNA arises post-transcriptionally, by S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation of a uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) residue in RNA.

Explanation:

Thymidylate synthase is an enzyme involved in <em>de novo</em> DNA synthesis. This enzyme (thymidylate synthase) catalyzes the transfer of the one-carbon group from 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate (5,10-CH2-THF) to deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) and subsequent methylation to produce deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which is then phosphorylated to deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) by kinases and incorporated into DNA. On the other hand, specific tRNA methylases catalyze the methylation of transference RNA (tRNA) by using S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor. Since tRNA methylation is a post-transcriptional modification, this chemical reaction is considered an epitranscriptomic modification on the RNA molecule.
