Answer:

Nucleic acids direct the synthesis amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are polynucleotides made up of monomers called nucleotides.  RNA and DNA are the two types of nucleic acids. The nucleotides they are made up of are composed of the pentose sugar (deoxyribose or Ribose), phosphate group and nitrogenous bases (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine/Uracil). Proteins are also polymers that are made up of monomers called amino acids joined together in a long chain.

DNA (nucleic acid) is the storage molecule of the genetic material in cells of living organism. This genetic material (DNA) contains segments that encodes functional products (proteins). The genetic material is expressed through the processes of transcription (DNA is used to synthesize RNA) and translation (RNA directs the synthesis of amino acids, which are arranged in a sequence to produce a particular protein).

In a nutshell, the nucleic acid (RNA and DNA) encodes or contains information for the synthesis of proteins.

A small complex organic molecule, often derived from vitamins, that acts in conjunction with an enzyme with an enzyme is known a
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: Coenzymes

Explanation:

Coenzymes are the small organic molecules that are often derived from the vitamins. It can be tightly or loosely bond to the enzymes.

Tighly bond ones are the prothestic groups and loosely bond ones are coenzymes like the products and substrate which binds to the enzyme and get released from it.

This component is very important for any reaction to take place. It bonds to the enzymes and helps in product formation.

What does each mrna molecule that goes to the ribosomes dictate
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

mRNA or messenger RNA goes to ribosomes to dictate the genetic information that it contains .

Explanation:

Ribosomes act as work benches during protein biosynthesis.mRNA also called messenger RNA binds with the smaller subunit of ribosome at the time of translation.

       The bound subunit of ribosome reads the genetic information as codons containing three concecuetive nucleotides present in mRNA thus helping tRNA to bring the particular amino acid specific for that codon at the A site or attachment site of ribosome.

      Thereafter ribosome moves to the next codon to bring another amino acid and so forth.

       Thus mRNA helps ribosome to brings the amino acids at the translation site.

position vs time for two cars which statements best describe the motion of car a and car b check all that apply
jekas [21]

Answer:

Option 1, 2, 5

Explanation:

Options for the question

  1. car a and car b are both moving toward the origin.
  2. car a and car b are moving in opposite directions.
  3. car a is moving faster than car b.
  4. car a and car b started at the same location.
  5. car a and car b pass each other at the crossover  point on the graph.  time (s)

Solution -

The motion of any object is represented by  position-time In such graphs the position of an object is fixed for any starting point on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

The slope of such curves determine the velocity of the object at all its position within the graph. The steeper the slope is, the faster the the object is moving.

Hence, the following statements are correct

Option 1, 2, 5
