The step of translation in which amino acids are added one at a time to the growing polypeptide is?
elongation
When is the new Amino acid added to the polypeptide chain?
in the ribosome :)
What is added to the polypeptide strand?
Amino Acids from the tRNA strand during the translation process.
How is protein created from amino acids?
To answer this question we have to talk a process called: "Translation". After the "Transcription", that is, the mechanism from where a mRNA molecule is synthesized from a DNA double helix. The mRNA molecule migrates outside the nucleus to the cytoplasm and specifically to the ribosomes (a complex protein organelles that serve as building machines for new polypeptide molecules). The mRNA molecule carries the specific sequence for the synthesis of the new polypeptide (protein) chain and serves as a "template" for the proper order of the amino acids that will constitute the new protein molecule. To add the amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain are necessary the tRNA molecules (these RNA structures carry a single amino acid that will be added to the growing polypeptide chain). Each tRNA has a specific three-nucleotide sequence (called "anticodon") that recognizes the corresponding three-nucleotide sequence (codon) on the mRNA molecule. Each amino acid monomer (carried by its particular tRNA) is anchored, one by one, to the previous amino acid that was added before by a peptide bond. This mechanism is taken place in a particular region of the ribosome, a cleft that provides the nascent polypeptide's exit path.
When water is added to a reaction causing large polymers to split into monomers that is called?
hydrolysis
The step of translation in which amino acids are added one at a time to the growing polypeptide is?
elongation
What is the purpose of a transfer RNA?
To carry the next amino acid to be added to a growing polypeptide chain during translation process that takes place in the ribosomes.
What dictates the corresponding sequence of amino acids in a growing polypeptide chain?
The sequence of amino acids being added to the growing polypeptide chain is controlled by the instructions (codons, 3-base codes) on the mRNA. These are a copy of the coding regions of the gene from the DNA in the nucleus.
When is the new Amino acid added to the polypeptide chain?
in the ribosome :)
Transfer RNA carries what to the messenger RNA?
When mRNA is being translated, it is attached to a ribosome. The tRNA brings an amino acid to be attached to the growing polypeptide chain connected to the ribosome. It interacts with the mRNA because the tRNA's anticodon has to be correctly paried with the mRNA's codon. This ensures that the right amino acid will be added to the polypeptide.
What are three nucleotides that specify a single amino acid to be added to a polypeptide?
CONDON
What is added to the polypeptide strand?
Amino Acids from the tRNA strand during the translation process.
What happens during a synthesis reaction?
As monomers are added, water is being taken out.

What happens during a dehydration synthesis reaction?
As monomers are added, water is being taken out.
What happens to a protein molecule after it has been translated?
it can undergo activation into a functional protein through clevage of certain amino acid sequencies. a amino acid sequence primary structure can fold to form the secondary and tertiary sturcture and forming bonds. splicing (Thats what the protein undergoes) to form functional protein.Also their is processing such as glycosylation in the ER to help with protein folding into functional enxymes.
