The prokaryotic cell is 17 times larger as compared to the virus particle.

Both values first need to be converted to the same unit.

5.0 um = 5.0 x 10^-^6 m

300 nm = 3.0 x 10^-^7 m

Dividing both values:

   5.0 x 10^-^6 m/3.0 x 10^-^7 m

                        = 16.667

Hence, the prokaryotic cell is approximately 17 times bigger than the virus particle.

Which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? bind
Hitman42 [59]
The step in translation initiation that is unique to the eukaryotes is:

<span>formation of the preinitiation complex ribosome assembly
</span>
Here are the processes involved in the Translation Initiation of Eukaryotes

1) 5'cap is used to position the mRNA on the 40S ribosomal subunit
2) ribosome scans down the mRNA looking for an AUG.
3) There is an initiator methionine-tRNA
4) The initiating AUG codon is often within a consensus sequence called the Kozak sequence (5'-ACCAUGG-3')
5) After binding the cap, ribosomes scan down the mRNA until the Kozak sequence is reached and translation begins
<span>6)The poly (A) tail and 5'-cap binding proteins help the initiation complex form
</span>

Explain why photosynthesis considered to be an anabolic, endergonic process.
mixas84 [53]
<span>photosynthesis is considered to be anabolic, because it is a process of growth, anabolic being the term used coming from anabolism which is synthesis of proteins or growth, and endergonic being because it is photosynthesis is a process in which heat or energy is absorbed , this being from the sun. Endergonic process are growth processes and this is why photosynthesis is considered to be anabolic and endergonic.</span>
