<span>There are three RNAs with a role in the synthesis of protein.</span>

mRNA, or messenger RNA, is the link between a gene and a protein. The main role of this ribonucleic acid is in transcription (”reading“) of DNA. The DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase, and the resulting product of this process is mRNA. This form of RNA can be modified post-transcriptionally with methylguanosine caps and polyadenosine tails. RNA carries the genetic information which is copied from DNA and the information has a form of three-base code (“words”), codons. Each of these codons specifies a particular amino acid.

tRNA or transfer RNA is the molecule with the main function in translation by "decoding" the mRNA message during this process. Each type of amino acid has its own type of tRNA and also has a three-base sequence (anticodon) that can bind complementary with the codons in the mRNA.

rRNA or ribosomal RNA is a main component of ribosomes. rRNA associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes which catalyze the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains (protein).

 

<span>There are also a few more types of RNA which have a regulatory function like, microRNA or siRNA.</span>

An enzyme is a large molecule.
ruslelena [56]

enzymes are proteins that speeds up the rate of chemical reaction in a living organism . An enzyme acts as catalyst  for specific chemical reaction, converting a specific sets of reactants called substrates into  specific products with out enzymes life would not be exist

Explanation:

Enzymes are identified to catalyze more than 5,000 biochemical reaction types. Most enzymes are proteins, although a few are catalytic RNA molecules. Enzymes' specificity appears in their unusual three-dimensional structures. Like all enzymes, enzymes improve the reaction rate by decreasing its activation potential.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The electron microscope

Explanation:

<u>The microscope that would be best suited to study the inner structure of the chloroplast would be the electron microscope.</u>

<em>The electron microscope has a high magnifying property due to the fact that it uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination, unlike the light microscope that uses visible light. While the light microscope might be enough to see the inner portion and the organelles of the cell, the tiny nature of the inner structure of the chloroplast means that the light microscope will not be able to view the details. A more powerful microscope like the electron microscope would be required.</em>

What is the relationship between enzymes and catalyst?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Catalysts are substances that increase or decrease the rate of a chemical reaction but remain unchanged. Enzymes are proteins that increase rate of chemical reactions converting substrate into product.
