lowering the activation energy barrier

Natali [406]3 years ago

A catalyst works by lowering the activation energy of a reaction - it will provide an alternative pathway of lower energy for the reaction, meaning that reactant molecules have to collide with less energy to react. This increases the proportion of collisions that are successful, and thus increases the rate of reaction

schepotkina [342]

The answers;

1. Termination. Out of the 64 codons, UAG, UAA, and UGA are the stop codons that terminate translation when encountered by the ribosome. These three do not code for any amino acid but rather cause the translation complex to dislocate.


2. Translation. In this process, the ribosome ‘reads’ the codon and brings in a t-RNA with an anticodon to the codon. This tRNA carries a specific amino acid (for that codon) and engages in the P-site of the ribosome. The amino acid is taken from the t-RNA and used to elongate the polypeptide chain being formed. Thereafter the empty t-RNA dislocates.


3. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. When a tRNA brings in an amino acid to the initiation complex, it is dislocated when ‘empty’. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase then catalyzes the reattachment of another amino acid through a chemical reaction called esterification. The cognate tRNA then become an aminoacyl-tRNA.


4. tRNA . Every tRNA has an amino acid attached to it. The type of amino acid (out of the 22 amino acids) is determined by the anticodon on the tRNA. There are many codons that are amino acids meaning that there are redundant codons that specify for the same amino acid.


5. Initiation. Initiation begins by the formation of an initiation complex. This complex is comprosed by the two subunits of the ribosome, and the mRNA. The complex becomes compelete when a Met-tRNA (a tRNA with a methionine amino acid) engages the P-site and then translation begins.

A young farmer purchases some land in a relatively arid area and is interested in earning a reasonable profit for many years. Wh
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Arid areas are the regions of the world which can be marked with the lack of water conditions, high light intensity and very low rainfall.

Water is one of the primary requirement of the plant without which no plant can survive but the adaptability to the environment allows the existence of the life on earth. There are known species of plants which are adaptive to such arid conditions.

If a farmer is interested in growing plants in such arid conditions hen he should select the plants which could better be adapted to survive in the arid conditions either by avoiding arid condition like storing water, low transpiration, extensive root system and many others.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
