 14. List the three types of RNA and their functions.

answers: 

The three major types of RNA are:

  1. mRNA (messenger RNA) : it provides the template for protein synthesis during translation [1]
  2. tRNA (transfer RNA) : it brings aminoacids and reads the genetic code during translation [1]
  3. rRNA (ribosomal RNA) : it plays a structural and catalytic role during translation [1]

1. Elaborate on the diversity of the root and shoot system of plants answer: Introduction Plants are one of the most important living organisms on earth. They have huge benefits for both humans and animals. A plant is made up of numerous parts. Distinct parts serve different purposes. The shoot system refers to the portion of the plant that protrudes above ground level, whereas the root system refers to the portion buried beneath the soil. The essential parts of a plant are: Roots Stem Leaves Flowers Fruits The study of plant organ tissue and cellular structure is known as plant anatomy. Cells serve as the fundamental building block of plants. Cells are organised into tissues, which are then organised into organs. Plant organs differ from one another in terms of their internal structure. The monocots and dicots are also observed to have diverse anatomical structures within angiosperms. Internal structures also exhibit environmental adaptations. Anatomy of Root All vascular plants have ...

  11.Explain the relationship between electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation. What does ATP synthase look like, and how does it work? answer:  How is electron transport couple to oxidative phosphorylation? Reactions of the electron transport chain take place in the inner mitochondria membrane, and production of ATP in the mitochondria comes from oxidative phosphorylation [ADP is phosphorylated to give ATP] Proton gradient is created by the pumping of electrons and represents stored potential energy, and provides basis for a coupling mechanism.      “Oxidative phosphorylation is the process of ATP formation, when electrons are transferred by electron carriers from NADH or FADH2 to oxygen” What is Oxidative Phosphorylation? Oxidative phosphorylation is the final step in cellular respiration. It occurs in the mitochondria. It is linked to a process known as electron transport chain. The electron transport system is located in the inner mitochondrial membr...

  12.Discuss the different kinds of interactions that stabilize the tertiary structures of proteins.   answers: Protein is made up of polypeptide chains that are the polymers of amino acids. It is a biomolecule. Protein exists in primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures. The tertiary structure is the three-dimensional structure. It is found in a globular protein. When linear protein is coiled and makes loops it is called tertiary structure. It becomes round. The bonds that provide stabilisation to the tertiary structure of the protein are disulphide bonds, ionic bonds and hydrophobic bonds and wander Waal's interactions. Myoglobin is an example of the tertiary structure of the protein.
