Why must RNA be made during protein synthesis?
RNA must be made during protein synthesis because protein synthesis needs to go through this process in order to transfer organelles and the functions of DNA
In order for a protein to be an integral protein it would have to be what?
amphipathic
What happens to energy During cellular respiration?
Energy is burned or is used up during this process. During cellular respiration, molecules of glucose are broken down in order to convert the stored energy into a usable form of energy.
In order for a protein to be an integral membrane protein it would have to be what?
the whole protein must be amphipathic but the surface itself must be hydrophobic.
What is the correct order smallest to largest protein - amino acid - polypeptide?
Amino acids---->peptide---->polypeptide--->protein.
What carbohydrates require a process of digestion in order to be broken down into glucose and help maintain proper blood sugar levels?
Complex carbohydrates require digestion in order to be broken down into glucose and to help maintain proper blood sugar levels.
What order do nutrients digest during digestion?
Mouth esophagus stomach small intestine large intestine rectum anus
What is protein broken into?
All nutrients are broken down into their respective monomers in order to be absorbed into the blood stream. The monomers of a protein are amino acids - this is what your body's cells use to build up other proteins.
Why must RNA be made during protein synthesis?
RNA must be made during protein synthesis because protein synthesis needs to go through this process in order to transfer organelles and the functions of DNA
What bonds are broken in order the unzip the DNA strands?
The hydrogen bonds are broken in order to unzip the DNA strand. This all occurs during the DNA replication process.
Which bond in APT must be broken in order to release energy during cellular respiration?
The bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken in order to release energy in order for the cell to do work.
What is them in the role of the villi in the small intestine?
to increase the surface area of the intestine in order to absorb as much nutrients as possible during digestion.
What carbohydrates require a prolonged process of digestion in order to be broken down?
Incorrect. Carbohydrates are digested and absorbed into the bloodstream at a much faster rate than fats and proteins. The speed at which eaten carbohydrate enter the blood stream as sugar is called the glycemic index with a range of 0 to 100. The higher the number, the faster carbohydrates increase the level of sugar in the bloodstream.
What are the examples of catabolism?
>cellular respiration >glycolysis >Kreb's cycle >digestion >The breakdown of muscle protein in order to use amino acids as substrates for gluconeogenesis and breakdown of fat in adipose tissue to fatty acids.
In order for a protein to be an integral protein it would have to be what?
amphipathic
What is the monomer for building a protein?
Amino acids. There are twenty different amino acids that nature uses routinely to produce proteins. Nature has a very specific order for incorporating these amino acids to produce any specific protein. This order is coded by the genes of the organism and in an elaborate way, the code is interpreted into the order of amino acid incorporation during protein synthesis.
Why does your body changes protein into amino acid when it again has to convert it into protein?
Proteins are too large to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins need to be broken down in order to enter a cell. These amino acids can then be recycled, and new proteins made.
