Answer:

approximately 150 amino acids

Explanation:

Proteins are produced from genes via a process called gene expression. In this process, the gene-containing DNA is first transcribed into mRNA molecule, which is subsequently translated into an amino acid sequence that makes up the protein molecule.

However, during the translation process, the mRNA molecule is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON i.e. a codon is made up of three nucleotide/nitrogenous bases. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid.

Since one codon of a mRNA that is three (3) nucleotides long codes for one amino acid, hence, strand of mRNA that is 450 nitrogenous bases long will produce a protein containing approximately (450/3) = 150 amino acids.

Which phrase listed below best describes the function of the digestive system?
xz_007 [3.2K]


The best answer is C - to break down food into nutrients.

The digestive system  breaks down food  into its simplest form that cell are able to utilize  for energy.  Food is broken down into its monomer units. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol and carbohydrates are broken down into glucose.

Glucose is then absorbed into the blood and transported to every cell in the body. The cells take in glucose and use it as fuel and raw material  in the process of cellular respiration. From one molecule of glucose, 36 to 38 molecules of ATP ( the form of energy used by cells) are produced.
