Which of the following is false regarding the protein pepsin?

Biology
1 answer:
Ilya [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

C. Pepsinogen is the active form of pepsin.

Explanation:

Pepsin is a gastric protease belonging to the aspartic proteinase family which breaks down polypeptide chains into smaller peptides by hydrolyzing peptide bonds. Pepsin is found in the gastric juice where it digests proteins from foods together with other digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid. Moreover, pepsinogen is a precursor of pepsin which is secreted by the gastric chief cells of the human stomach and then is converted into pepsin (its active form) by hydrochloric acid.

Hydrolysis of which molecule is important for translation initiation, elongation, and termination?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

D. GTP

Explanation:

Initiation of protein synthesis includes binding of mRNA to small ribosome subunit and initiation aminoacyl tRNA. The pairing of the anticodon of the initiating aminoacyl tRNA and initiation codon of mRNA requires GTP hydrolysis and marks the beginning of protein synthesis.  

Elongation stage of protein synthesis requires movement of the ribosome along the mRNA which in turn is facilitated by GTP hydrolysis. As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, the codon of mRNA bind to the respective anticodon of aminoacyl tRNA by using the energy of GTP hydrolysis. The GTPase activity of elongation factor Ef-Tu ensures the fidelity of the process.  

The release factors that recognize the stop codon and serve to mark the termination of protein synthesis use the energy of GTP hydrolysis during the process.
