Answer:
B- Photosynthesis
Explanation:
Chloroplasts are <em>chlorophyll-containing, eukaryotic cell structures</em> that function in photosynthesis by absorbing energy from sunlight, combining this energy with water and CO2 to convert them to sugars . This cell structure is known as a plastid. The sugars produced, are important for the survival of the plant.
Chloroplasts reproduce on their own, independent of the whole cell because they contain their own DNA. Plant chloroplasts are located in guard cells in plant leaves. Closely linked to these guard cells are tiny pores called stomata, which allow gas exchange required for photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis occurs in two stages:
- The light reaction stage
- The dark reaction stage
The Light reaction stage takes place in the presence of light. Clorophyll converts light into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Both molecules produced, are used in the dark stage to produce sugar.
In the dark reaction stage, the stroma, containing enzymes, facilitates reactions leading to the production of sugars from ATP and NADPH. This process is also called the carbon fixation stage. The sugar produced can be stored in the form of starch for other processes such as respiration.
mRNA
Messenger RNA is used to copy and encode genetic information from DNA base pairs by forming complementary strand of RNA molecule from the nucleus of the cell to the cytoplasm.
tRNA
Transfer RNA reads sequence of nucleotide from messenger RNA and translate them into proteins or amino acids during proten synthesis.
Transcription
This is the first step in gene expression where information from DNA is copied into a complementary strand of RNA molecule using RNA polymerase enzyme.
Translation
Messenger RNA made from the process of transcription travels to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where proteins are produced using transfer RNA to copy the information.
The use of DNA to make proteins.
Through gene expression (central dogma of biology), the DNA molecule carries information, a gene code, in form of base pairing sequences that are transcribed to RNA and further translated to functional proteins or amino acids.
A good title would be "The Cell Membrane: _____" and then insert what type of cell it is in the blank.
The neurons conduct impulses over relatively long distance in the body. This is facilitated by their long cytoplasmic extensions
Answer:
Because of the universality of the genetic code, the polymerases of one organism can accurately transcribe a gene from another organism.
