The process of cellular respiration

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid.

Can someone explain the process of RNA editing?

Talja [164]

The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:Substitution editing and Insertion/deletion editing.

Substitution editing is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:

*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.

*adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.Thus a CAG codon (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).

*Insertion/deletion editing is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.

These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.

In proteins, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of structure depend on the primary structure.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:b. Amino acid sequence, hydrogen bonding between backbone groups, the overall shape of a single polypeptide, and combinations of tertiary structures.

Explanation: Primary structure is the amino acid sequence in the polypeptide chain. When the sequence is altered due to mutation it can lead to formation of entirely new amino acid sequence.

Secondary structure could be the helical structure or the Beta pleated sheet. It is form from the interaction of atom that are backbones.It is the hydrogen bond between amino Hydrogen and carboxyl oxygen atom in the backbones

Tertiary structure- Overall structure of polypeptide. It result from interaction of the R groups amino acids. It gives the shape of the polypeptide.

Quantenary- Are protein made up of multiple polypeptide chain. This chain are also called subunit. It is the combination of all tertiary structures given rise to a functional protein.
