A DNA sequence that is 15 nucleotides long would normally give rise to a polypeptide sequence that would be 5 amino acids long. This is assuming that all the nucleotides in the DNA sequences are strictly coded to form only sense codons and not a single nonsense codon, also called termination codon

A sense codon is a set of three nucleotides also called a triplet, that codes for a particular amino acid. A DNA sequence of 15 nucleotides has 5 codons.

A nonsense or termination codon is one that does not code for any amino acid. There are three nonsense codons found on mRNA, and these are UAA, UAG and UGA. So if the DNA sequence has one of these, then the amino acids in the polypeptide chain will be 4 in number

Yeast fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Fermentation is an anaerobic pathway that breaks down glucose in absence of oxygen.

Conversely, cellular respiration requires oxygen to break down glucose molecules.

Fermentation is energetically less efficient than cellular respiration in terms of the generation of energy (ATP).

In conclusion, yeast fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.

If trypsin were to be placed in an acidic environment, how would it function? How do you know?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

If trypsin is in an acidic environment, it will decrease its function, since its optimum pH is 8.

Explanation:

Trypsin is an enzyme responsible for break peptide bonds, thus hydrolyzing proteins into peptides and amino acids. This enzyme is secreted by the pancreas and poured into the duodenum —an alkaline environment— where it acts.

Since the optimal pH for trypsin to fulfill its function is 8, if the enzyme were placed in an acidic environment it would decrease its function. This is because enzymes work under specific pH and temperature conditions, and changes in these conditions affect enzymatic activity.

What is "due process" of law?

katrin [286]

Hihi!

Due process means a fair treatment through the normal judicial system, especially as a citizen's entitlement and it is "the legal requirement that the state must respect all legal rights that are owed to a person. Due process balances the power of law of the land and protects the individual person from it."
