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.

Waters in the coastal ocean tend to be more productive than waters of similar depth in the open ocean. What is the main reason f
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The coastal ocean seems to be more productive than the waters of the similar height in the open ocean due to ample availability of water, sunlight, and nutrients. The coastal ocean has more nutrients due to the process of upwelling, that is, movement of water offshore by the currents.

Also, water situated on the continental shelves is comparatively shallower and thus it is turbulent. This mixing or turbulence keeps settling the nutrients stirred up and accessible, and eventually, ample of nutrients erode off the continents themselves and so water nearby to the shore seems to be greater in nutrients.  

On the other hand, in the surface water away from the coastlines, usually, there is a lot of sunlight but no availability of adequate nutrients. Therefore, the majority of the ocean surface is not much productive.
