The average molecular weight of proteins encoded in the human genome is about 50,000. A few proteins are very much larger than t

his average. For example, the protein called titin, which is made by muscle cells, has a molecular weight of 3,000,000. Estimate how long it will take a muscle cell to translate an mRNA coding for an average protein and one coding for titin. The average molecular mass of amino acids is about 110 daltons. Assume that the translation rate is two amino acids per second.

Answer:

13,636 seconds = 227.3 minutes = 3.79 hours

Explanation:

The titin protein has a molecular weight of 3,000,000 daltons, while the average molecular mass of one amino acid is 110 daltons, so it is expected that this protein is composed of 27,273 amino acids (3,000,000 daltons/110 daltons = 27,272.72). Moreover, and since the translation rate is two amino acids per sec, it is expected that the protein will be synthesized in approximately 3.79 hours (27,272.72/2 = 13,636 seconds = 227.3 minutes = 3.79 hours).

REY [17]

Neurosecretory cells make and release the hormones from the posterior pituitary. The cell bodies of these neurosecretory cells receive synapses from Afferent neuron and their axon terminals release hormones into blood stream or the local extracellular space.

Neurohormone is  generally produced by neurosecretory cells and liberated by nerve impulses. Neurosecretory cells receive synapses from afferent neurons to guide magnocellular neurons .

A synapse is known as a  small junction at the end of a neuron that allows any signal to pass through one neuron to another. Synapse is a junction were the one neuron get connected with the other neuron .

Which relationship is being shown in the graph
goblinko [34]

The correct answer is prey predator relationship.

The given graph possibly shows the prey predator relationship, in which the prey is shown in red and the predator is shown in blue. It is observed that the predator population generally remain less than the prey, in order to get food easily.

The prey predator relationship shows that if the population of the prey start increasing, then the population of the predator would also increase, as the predators have abundant of food. But when the population of the prey start decreasing, the predators start to decline due to the starvation.
