Ribosomes contain ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Two tRNAs can be attached to ribosomes in P-site (peptidyl site) and A-site (amino-acyl site) of a ribosome.

Where does the process of translation do in mRNA?

The newly spliced mRNA binds to a ribosome. tRNA molecules migrate towards the ribosome, these tRNA molecules carries a specific amino acid. The ribosome allows two tRNA molecules into the ribosome at a time. The tRNA molecules have complementary anti-codons to the codons present on the mRNA strand. Two tRNA move into the ribosome and their anti-codons join to complementary codons on the mRNA strand. As one molecule leaves the ribosome, its amino acid forms a peptide bond with an amino acid on the adjacent tRNA molecule, with the help of ATP and an enzyme. As the ribosome moves along the the mRNA strand, a polypeptide chain is created. The ribosome stops reading the mRNA strand when it reaches a stop codon.


How many DNA bases are read at a time?

In protein synthesis, three DNA bases, known as a codon, are read at a time by the ribosome. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid in the process of translating the genetic information into a protein.


How many ATPs are needed to break down 5 glucose molecules?

10 in anaerobic condition while 5*36 in aerobic condition .


Why can hydrophobic molecules cross the membrane?

Hydrophobic molecules can cross the cell membrane because the membrane is made up of a double layer of lipids, which are also hydrophobic. This allows hydrophobic molecules to pass through the membrane easily, while hydrophilic molecules have a harder time crossing.


Why is ribosome important for the cell?

Ribosomes are important for the cell because they are responsible for protein synthesis, which is essential for all cellular processes. Ribosomes translate the genetic information in mRNA into specific amino acid sequences that form proteins, allowing cells to function properly and carry out their necessary functions. Without ribosomes, cells would not be able to produce the proteins needed for survival.

What the process of translation?

Translation is the synthesis of proteins using information on the mRNA. The mRNA carries the genetic information of the DNA and contains series of base triplets. The mRNA binds to the ribosome in the cytoplasm and the tRNA binds with an animo acid before carrying it to the ribosome. Two tRNAs bind to the ribosome at the same time and a peptide bond forms between the amino acids attached to them. The first tRNA detaches from the ribosome, and the ribosome will shift along the mRNA where another tRNA with an animo acid will bind to it. This process continues to form a chain of amino acids until the STOP codon is reached.

How many oxygen molecules could one blood cell carry?

One hemoglobin molecule in a red blood cell can bind up to four oxygen molecules. Therefore, one blood cell could potentially carry up to four oxygen molecules at a time.


How are amino acids transfered to the ribosome into a growing polypeptide chain?

The ribosome uses tRNA that matches the current codon (triplet) on the mRNA to append an amino acid to the polypeptide chain. This is done for each triplet on the mRNA, while the ribosome moves towards the 3' end of the mRNA.


How many molecules can attach to one active site?

There can be many but one at a time.


The number of molecules with which an enzyme reacts is the?

The number of molecules with which an enzyme reacts is typically one or more substrate molecules. Enzymes bind to their substrates at their active sites to catalyze chemical reactions. The number of substrate molecules that can interact with an enzyme at a given time depends on factors like enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the kinetics of the enzyme-substrate complex formation.


What is the result of the translation process?

An amino acid chain


What is a ribosome's structure?

A ribosome is composed of two parts known as the large and small subunits. Each of these is a combination of protein and a type of RNA known as rRNA. At the beginning of translation, the two subunits form a structure around the mRNA molecule as the first tRNA (the one matching the first methionine or fMet) arrives. The completed ribosome has niches that hold up to three tRNAs at a time. Because a cell has so many ribosomes at any one time, rRNA is the most common type of RNA found in cells.


How many monomers are added to the growing polypeptide or protein chain in each step?

During each step of protein synthesis, one amino acid monomer is added to the growing polypeptide chain by the ribosome. This process occurs in a cyclical manner as the ribosome moves along the mRNA strand, adding one amino acid at a time.


Why couldn't Ed just bind his moms soul to a set of armour like he did to Al?

At the time Ed had barely mastered making toy dogs and birds out of random materials, and by the time he had the skill to bind a soul to armor it was too late.


The step of translation in which amino acids are added one at a time to the growing polypeptide is?

The step of translation in which amino acids are added one at a time to the growing polypeptide is called elongation. During elongation, transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carrying amino acids enter the ribosome and add their amino acids to the growing chain in a sequence determined by the mRNA codons.
