What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) transports amino acids to the ribosome for incorporation into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the significance of stem cells in biotechnology?

Back

Stem cells can be grown and reproduced in a laboratory, allowing for the production of valuable compounds without harming the source organism.

Front

What does the genotype TT represent in tongue rolling?

Back

TT represents a homozygous dominant genotype, indicating the ability to roll the tongue.

Front

What happens to glucose during cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is consumed during cellular respiration, leading to a decrease in its quantity as it is converted into energy.

Front

What is the function of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

Back

rRNA is a component of ribosomes and plays a crucial role in protein synthesis by facilitating the binding of tRNA and mRNA.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where it serves as a template for protein synthesis.

Front

What is a pedigree chart?

Back

A pedigree chart is a diagram that shows the occurrence and inheritance of traits in a family across generations.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
