We have that DNA is transcribed into mRNA in a one to one fashion, namely one nucleotide of DNA is transcribed to 1 of mRNA. By the genetic code, we have that 3 nucleotides correspond to 1 amino acid. Hence, we have that if in a minute a polymerase transcribes 60 nucleotides, these correspond to 60/3 aminoacids. Hence, the rate has to be at most 20 aminoacids per minute.

Order the steps of carbohydrate digestion:___________
Kryger [21]

Answer:

B

D

C

A

Explanation:

Digestion begins in the mouth with the process of chewing also known as mastication. Saliva in the mouth mixes with the food. saliva contains amylose. This breaks down sugar into smaller units of dextrins and maltose.

In the small intestine, the pancreas releases pancreatic juice which breaks down dextrins into smaller units.

the cells in the small intestine helps to transport the digested nutrients to the blood stream

Undigested food goes to the large intestine and eliminated in the stool

Question:

The organelle shown consists of a stack of flattened membranes.

What is the primary function of this organelle?

  • attaching amino acids to tRNA molecules
  • long-term storage of molecules in the cell
  • production of large and small ribosomal subunits
  • repackaging proteins for export from the cell

Answer:

  • repackaging proteins for export from the cell

Explanation:

The organelle consisting of a stack of flattened membranes is the Golgi apparatus.

The Golgi apparatus is like the packaging centre of the cell. It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and from the endoplasmic reticulum to be stored in the cell or released outside the cell
