Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Our nucleus is made up of a genetic material called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is a double-helical structure that stores the genetic information needed for the optimal functioning of any organism. DNA, alongside RNA are nucleic acids that are composed of NUCLEOTIDES subunits. The nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.

However, the genetic information stored in the DNA molecule needs to be expressed in order to form useful products (proteins). This genetic expression is done in two stages viz: transcription and translation. Transcription, which is catalyzed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase is the process whereby the information stored in the DNA is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. However, this mRNA molecule is considered pre-mature until it is processed. RNA processing occurs in three stages viz: 5' capping, polyadenylation, and splicing.

5' capping involves adding a 5' cap to the marks molecule. Polyadenylation involves adding a poly(A) tail to the mRNA molecule while splicing is the removal of introns (non coding regions) with the aid of Spliceosomes and joining of the exons (coding region). After processing, the mRNA becomes matured and ready to be translated.

Translation is the process whereby the mRNA transcript is used to synthesize a protein molecule. It occurs in the ribosomes (organelles for protein synthesis, a complex of rRNA and proteins) where the mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. The reading is done by the Anticodon of a transfer RNA (tRNA), which is complementary to the codon.

Translation occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation and termination. The mRNA attaches to the P site of the ribosomes (initiation) where it is attached to by a tRNA's anticodon complementary to it. The anticodon carries the amino acid corresponding the codon and shifts to the A-site. The addition of amino acid to the polypeptide chain continues (elongation) until a stop codon is encountered, which signals the end of the translation process i.e. termination. This causes the polypeptide (protein) to be released from the E-site.

The synthesized protein undergoes packaging and modification in the Golgi apparatus.

Give at least three facts autotrophs and heterotrophs on earth are true?
White raven [17]

Answer:

  • Autotrophs are usually defined as those that can prepare their own food by carrying out the process of photosynthesis, but heterotrophs cannot prepare their own food and are directly dependent on the autotrophs for food. Examples of autotrophs are plants and trees, and examples of heterotrophs are animals and human beings.
  • Autotrophs are the lowest organisms in the trophic level, where they produce the food for the consumers (heterotrophs). On the other hand, the heterotrophs lie above the autotrophs and when they consume their food, they obtain only 10% of the energy, and the remaining energy is released into the environment.
  • Autotrophs can make organic substances by the use of inorganic molecules, but heterotrophs cannot make these substances. They are only dependent on the molecules prepared by these autotrophs.

Thus, these are three of the facts regarding autotrophs and heterotrophs existing on earth that are true.
