What is the function of the P site in the large subunit?

a)

To phosphorylate the polypeptide

b)

To hold the growing polypeptide

Codon recognition, peptide bond formation, translocation

b)

Anticodon recognition, ionic bond formation, translocation

c)

Codon recognition, ionic bond formation, translocation

d)

Anticodon recognition, peptide bond formation, translocation

5.

Which of the following is the direction that mRNA is read?

a)

3' to 5'

b)

5' to 3'

c)

N terminus to C terminus

d)

C terminus to N terminus

6.

Which of the following describes the orientation of two amino acids when bonded?

a)

Carboxyl of first amino acid binds to carboxyl of second amino acid

b)

Amino of first amino acid binds to amino of second amino acid

c)

Carboxyl of first amino acid binds to amino of second amino acid

d)

Amino of first amino acid binds to carboxyl of second amino acid

7.

Which of the following describes the difference between bound and free ribosomes?

a)

Free ribosomes do not require ATP for dehydration reactions while bound ribosomes require ATP for dehydration reactions

b)

Free ribosomes synthesize proteins for the cytosol while bound ribosomes synthesize proteins for the membrane/secretion

c)

Free ribosomes are able to freely float between all parts of the cell while bound ribosomes remain in the rough ER membrane

d)

Free ribosomes move between the nucleus to the cytosol while bound ribosomes remain in the cytosol

tRNA has the codon required for translation

b)

tRNA allows for the translocation step

c)

tRNA has the RNA transcript for protein synthesis

d)

tRNA brings the amino acid to the ribosome

9.

Which of the following describes the function of the mRNA?

a)

mRNA moves the ribosome to the appropriate location in the cell for synthesis

b)

mRNA has the anticodon to pair with tRNA for protein synthesis

c)

mRNA is responsible for being the transcript synthesized from the DNA

d)

mRNA will make more copies of itself to enhance the process of transcription
