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.

What is the point at which DNA strand is unzipped so that it can form new complimentary strands?
Sloan [31]
DNA is unzipped by helicase at the origin of replication. There are several origins of replications in eukaryotic DNA replication, while only one in prokaryotic replication.

A salt solution has a concentration of 200 g/L. How many grams of salt are contained in 500 mL of this solution?
noname [10]

Answer:

100g/500mL

Explanation:

1ml is .001 of 1 L

this means that per one ml, there is 200g*.001, or .2g/mL, or simply .2g.

now we multiply this by 500, for the 500ml we are calculating. 500*.2=100.

We can also skip these steps and take 200g*.5L, as 500mL is 1/2 liter. We get the same outcome, so the answer is 100g
