What bases hold the directions on how to make proteins?
Well...generally speaking, all the bases make proteins. Well, more specifically, any number of bases divisible by 3 can make proteins. ;-) Every combination of 3 bases, UCAG, can encode a nucleotide (or a stop or a start). And there are seriously millions of different combinations of nucleotides that make up proteins of various lengths. And sometimes different proteins can be encoded by the SAME part of DNA, but on opposite strands! So I don't think you could really say that there are any specific bases that hold directions on how to make proteins...unless you're talking about Ribosomes...which are produced in the cytoplasm. Perhaps you could clarify your question?
What happens to a molecule off protein during digestion?
Nothing "happens to it" unless something happens to it. In other words, your question is missing the "when" part ("what happens to a molecule of protein WHEN ..."). Even then, it depends on the details; different proteins react in different ways.
What is the most important organ of the body?
the brain because it is the center of life
Is DNA a structurally simpler molecule than protein?
DNA basically contains double helical chains comprising of a specific sequence of amino acids. The chains are attached by hydrogen bonds between complimentery bases: A-T, G-C That way, proteins appear to be simpler since they (usually) contain linear polypeptide chains with fewer cross links. But globular proteins can have a lot of cross linking through intermolecular forces between the polypeptide chains and therefore also have double helical structure like DNA. thus no comparision in this case. But fibrous proteins are much simpler. So unless you actually specify the particular protein under reference, the comparision would be indeed vague.
Explain the function of ribosomes?
rRNA is a massive molecule consisting of two parts; a small section, and a large section. It is between these two sections that the mRNA fits, and into the large selection that the tRNA complexes (with attached amino acids) are taken. rRNA molecules have two main binding sites. When a tRNA molecule is bound, the mRNA molecule moves along one space, and another tRNA molecule binds. When this happens, the amino acids at the ends of the tRNA molecules are very close together, and a peptide bond forms. The mRNA then moves along again and the first tRNA molecule breaks away. This is translationRead more: How_are_messenger_RNA_transfer_RNA_ribosomal_RNA_different
Is Rabies a non-lethal disease?
Unless treated, Rabies is lethal. I messes with the brain and does not allow the infected organism to properly function.
What do objects that float have in common?
Objects that are less dense than the environment in which they are immersed will float, unless they are tethered.
What do objects that float all have in common?
Objects that are less dense than the environment in which they are immersed will float, unless they are tethered.
Are phones waterproof?
No, unless they are purchased as "waterproof" phones, they will be damaged (beyond repair) if immersed in water or allowed to get very wet.
What burns unless it is counteracted properly?
You.
Does karaoke equipment require a screen to function properly?
Unless you don't care about not being able to see the lyrics, a karaoke machine requires some sort of graphics display.
A CD or DVD drive properly read a CD or DVD when the drive is standing vertically?
Unless the CD or DVD tray has a method of keeping the disc against the drive unit, the disc won't be able to spin. In this case, the DVD/CD drive would not function properly.
Does anyone use Windows Internet Explorer anymore?
Many people do still use Windows Internet Explorer. There are many websites that don't function properly unless opened using Internet Explorer.
Are recombinant proteins low cost?
Recombinant proteins have a very high production cost. They are not industrially produced unless there is a global demand for the recombinant product.
Is alfalfa sprouts hazardous?
Any food is hazardous if you eat too much of it. Alfalfa seeds contain canavanine, an amino acid that is a variant of the more common lysine. When canavanine is eaten, it occasionally is used in proteins in place of lysine, resulting in aberrant proteins that don't function properly. It's therefore toxic. However, by the time the seeds germinate, most of the canavanine is used up. There's still a small amount in the sprouts, but unless you're making alfalfa sprouts a significant portion of your overall diet, it's not likely to be enough to hurt you.
How many minutes is 46 miles?
That cannot be properly answered unless you specify how fast you are traveling.
Does the border to Guatemala to Mexico let you bring chameleons?
No, unless it is properly registered.
