What is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a food chain?
Dehydration synthesis is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a chain.
What is the translation process that results in production of a polypeptide?
Translation: the process of protein elongation & termination of protein synthesis. During protein synthesis the small and large ribosomal subunits join to form a functional ribose, durong this phase many processes take place. The result of these processes is protein elongation (polypeptide chain).
How does amino acids get to the site of protein synthesis?
Amino acids are attached to transfer RNA to form an aminoacyl-tRNA and diffuse to the ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis.
What process takes place in the Ribosome?
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis. This is where mRNA is read and a sequence of amino acids are joined together to form a polypeptide/protein.
Proteins is a long string of?
amino acids form a chain called a polypeptide chain and form a protein
A Protein is a long chain of what?
A protein is a long chain of amino acids. That are linked by dehydration synthesis to form peptide bonds.
Which substances makes up a protein chain?
Amino acids combine much like links in a chain to form proteins.
What is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a food chain?
Dehydration synthesis is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a chain.
Do ribosomes form protein?
Yes they form proteins.They invoive in protein synthesis.
What is an amino acid attached to in protein synthesis?
To form protein, the amino acids are linked by dehydration synthesis to form peptide bonds. The chain of amino acids is also known as apolypeptide. Some proteins contain only one polypeptide chain while others, such as hemoglobin, contain several polypeptide chains all twisted together.
What is the translation process that results in production of a polypeptide?
Translation: the process of protein elongation & termination of protein synthesis. During protein synthesis the small and large ribosomal subunits join to form a functional ribose, durong this phase many processes take place. The result of these processes is protein elongation (polypeptide chain).
How do mRNA and tRNA work together during protein synthesis?
The mRNA brings the message that was transcribed by the DNA to the ribosome, while the tRNA brings the anticodon to translate the message, along with the amino acid which bonds to form a polypeptide chain. The chain is further developed into a functional protein .
A protein is a long string of?
amino acids form a chain called a polypeptide chain and form a protein
How might protein synthesis execute differently if a mutation occurs?
Mutant protein will form.
Why must protein synthesis be accurate?
Because each amino acid put into the growing polypeptide chain that will become a protein has an R group with different binding characteristics that can change the shape of the protein, thus the action of the protein, if not accurately placed for that particular protein in it's tertiary form.
How does amino acids get to the site of protein synthesis?
Amino acids are attached to transfer RNA to form an aminoacyl-tRNA and diffuse to the ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis.
What kind of reaction form protein from amino acids?
dehydration synthesis
