What is a single stranded nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis.?
Ribonucleic acid
Which nucleic acid molecules are involved in transcription but NOT translation in the synthesis of a particular polypeptide?
DNA
A single stranded nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis?
RNA. mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA all play parts.
Does a virus have a protein coat?
Yes. All viruses are composed of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein capsid. When the capsid is not present, the the infectious nucleic acid is called viroid. When the nucleic acid is not present, the infectious protein coating is called prion.
What is the nucleic acid found in ribosome?
ribosomal RNA serves the site of protein synthesis in ribosomes
What is a single stranded nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis.?
Ribonucleic acid
How are nucleic acids are involved in protein synthesis?
The single-strand uracil-based ribsomal nucleic acid called mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) serves as the "blueprint" in protein synthesis. It carries instructions from DNA (double-stranded thymine-based deoxyribonucelic acid) in a cell's nucleus to a ribosome where protein synthesis is carried out. At the ribosome, rRNA (ribsomal ribonucleic acid) is the central component of the protein synthesis machinery that assembles amino acids to form a protein according to the mRNA information; tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) provides the amino acids specified by the rRNA.
Role of nucleic acid in life processes?
Nucleic acid's main role is to store and send genetic info. and use it to direct the synthesis of a new protein.
Which nucleic acid molecules are involved in transcription but NOT translation in the synthesis of a particular polypeptide?
DNA
What is the acidic polymer of nucleotides that found in the nucleus that function in heredity and protein synthesis?
Nucleic Acid
Is amylase a carbohydrate lipid protein or nucleic acid?
Insulin is a protein.
Is phosphoric acid a carbohydrate lipid protein nucleic acid?
It is a nucleic acid.
Is DNA a template for synthesis of nucleic acid?
no
A single stranded nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis?
RNA. mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA all play parts.
What compound is involved in the activation of acyl compounds in fatty acid synthesis?
In fatty acid synthesis, an acyl carrier protein (ACP) activates the acyl compounds.
Where do viral particles get the materials for the protein - and nucleic acid - synthesis that they need to perform?
To carry out their Viral processes they 'utilize' the resources of The Host Cell.
What nucleic acids are involved in transcription?
Deoxyribose nucleic acid, transcribed into, Ribose nucleic acid.
