Protein synthesis consumes four high-energy phosphate bonds per added amino acid. Transcription consumes two high energy phospha

te bonds per added nucleotide. Calculate how many protein molecules will have been made from an individual mRNA at the point when the energy cost of translation is equal to the energy cost of transcription. Assume that the nucleotides in the coding portion of the mRNA constitute 5% of the total that are transcribed.

Answer:

30 protein molecules per mRNA molecule

Explanation:

In this problem, it is necessary to have into account that the transcriptional process requires six (6) phosphate bonds to synthesize one (1) codon (i.e, each three nucleotides), and also discards 95% more energy to make mRNA, it means 19 times this amount of energy >> 6 x 19 = 114 bonds. In consequence, transcription requires 120 phosphate bonds (6 + 114 = 120), while translation requires four (4) phosphate bonds per codon. From this deduction, it is possible to find the number of protein molecules synthesized with regard to the energy cost of the translation process and the transcriptional process >>> 120 bonds (transcription) /4 bonds (translation) = 30 protein molecules.

The answer should be true. As long as both forces are unbalanced, an object is going to move in the direction where the most force is being applied.

Plasmid DNA generally contains genetic information that: a. is necessary for prokaryotic cell reproduction b. distinguishes one
Setler [38]

Answer:

Plasmid DNA play a important role for survival of a prokaryotic cell.

Option D is correct one.

Explanation:

In addition to the chromosome, many prokaryotes have plasmids, which are small rings of double-stranded extra-chromosomal ("outside the chromosome") DNA. Plasmids carry a small number of non-essential genes and are copied independently of the chromosome inside the cell. They can be transferred to other prokaryotes in a population, sometimes spreading genes that are beneficial to survival.

For instance, some plasmids carry genes that make bacteria resistant to antibiotics. (These genes are called R genes.) When the plasmids carrying R genes are exchanged in a population, they can quickly make the population resistant to antibiotic drugs. While beneficial to the bacteria, this process can make it difficult for doctors to treat harmful bacterial infections.

Which two cell parts are most likely found in both types of cell? cell wall and cell membrane lysosome and vacuole vacuole and c
Setler [38]

The correct answer is option lysosome and vacuole.

Both the type of cell, the plant as well as animal cells do have the lysosome and the vacuoles. The vacuoles in the plant cells are prominent and very important organelle, a central large occupies a lot of volume of the plant cell. In the animal cells, the vacuoles are smaller and large in number. Lysosomes are also present in both animal as well as the plant cell.

A cell wall is a specific feature of the plant cell. Centrioles are not found in all plant cells, but are present in all animal cells. Chloroplast is the organelle, where the photosynthesis takes place, as animal cells do not perform photosynthesis, they do not have chloroplasts.

What is the function of the large central vacuole
Rudik [331]

Answer:Una vacuola es un orgánulo celular presente en todas las células eucariotas vegetales. También aparece en algunas células procariotas y eucariotas animales. Las vacuolas son compartimentos cerrados o rodeados por la membrana plasmática ya que contienen diferentes fluidos, como agua o enzimas, aunque en algunos casos puede contener sólidos, por ejemplo azúcares, sales, proteínas y otros nutrientes. La mayoría de las vacuolas se forman por la fusión de múltiples vesículas membranosas. El orgánulo no posee una forma definida, su estructura varía según las necesidades de la célula en particular.

La célula vegetal inmadura contiene una gran cantidad de vacuolas pequeñas, que aumentan de tamaño y se van fusionando en una sola y grande a medida en que la célula va creciendo. En la célula madura, el 90 % de su volumen puede estar ocupado por una vacuola, con el citoplasma reducido a una capa muy estrecha junto a la pared celular.
