Answer:
Proteins seem better suited for storing genetic information because DNA is only made from 4 bases while proteins were made from 20 amino acids, Scientists thought that proteins could code for much greater variety in their amino acid sequence than DNA could in its nucleotide sequence.
Answer:
There are different types of proteins present which are made of amino acid sub-units. Proteins play various important functions in an organism's body. Some of these functions are:
- Growth and maintenance of cells and individuals.
- Antibodies are proteins which provide immunity.
- Enzymes are proteins which catalyze different reactions.
- Many proteins allow movement of substances inside and outside of the cell membrane. They are known as carrier proteins.
- Many proteins serve as structural proteins.
Answer:
- Glycine
- Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate
- 3-phosphoglycerate
- Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
- Glucose
- Sucrose
Explanation:
The glycine, among other amino acids, helps to improve chlorophyll production and promotes the process of photosynthesis.
<u>Calvin cycle</u>
During the carbon fixation phase, a CO² molecule combinate with a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to form 6-carbonated molecules, which will divide into two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules.
During the reduction phase, NADPH donates its electrons to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate molecules, and turn them into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
During the regeneration phase, a glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecule leaves the cycle and goes to the cytosol to form glucose. This step can be done when three CO² enter the cycle and produce six glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules. One of them leaves the cycle to form glucose, while the other five are recycled.
<u>Cytosol: </u>
Once in the cytosol, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules are used to form glucose and fructose. These two molecules are the monosaccharides that form the sucrose.
Once sucrose is formed, it is transported from the photosynthetic tissues to different parts of the plant by the phloem.
