A Comparison of Protein Synthesis between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes The different fundamental organisation of genetic material and organelles between eukaryotes and prokaryotes leads to dissimilar processes of protein synthesis. The larger eukaryotes have a more intricate pathway associated with protein synthesis, due to both the biochemical structure of organelles and enzymes, and also the transport of genetic material within cell. In this essay I hope to explore the differences of gene…

so. To translate mRNA into a protein it requires a series of detailed steps and molecules including initiation, elongation and termination. After transcription is complete the mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels into the cytoplasm. Translation may occur in either the cytoplasm or the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Two molecular factors that play a key role in translation are transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomes. tRNA is a RNA molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosomes where they will be…

cell membrane is a thin layer that forms a semi- permeable barrier around the outer surface of the cytoplasm of the cell and controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. Nucleus: It contains DNA for making new cells and organisms and also controls the reaction in the cell. Chromosomes: Thread- like structures found in the nucleus of the cell which carry the genetic information Cytoplasm: The liquid gel which makes up a lot of the body of a cell and is where many chemical…

food molecules such as glucose and release the energy they contain is called Cellular Respiration. The first stage of Cellular Respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. The second stage occurs in the organelle called mitochondria. The overall purpose of this process is to release energy from food. In the first stage which happens in the cytoplasm, the molecules from the glucose are broken down into small molecules. In the second stage which occurs in the mitochondria, the small molecules…

clade, which are heterotrophs and a major clade that belogs to the kingdom Protista. Paramecium are single-celled organisms with an oval, slipper shaped. On the outside of the Paramecium you can find the radiatin canal and a contractile vacuole. The cytoplasm, food vacuoles, the macronucleus, and the micronucleus are located inside. Another characteristic of them is that they move faster than other protists. They live in aquatic environments, but most usual in warm water. Paramecium uses the…

transcription and translation. The transcription part is when the information that is encoded in the DNA is taken away and it is the encoded in the mRNA and this information can then go to the cells that are within the nucleus and then onto in the cytoplasm. Then there is translation which is when the mRNA works with a ribosome and tRNA to be able to synthesize the proteins. Transcription The sequence of transcription starts with the Enzyme Helicase being able to attach to the DNA double helix.…

specific people are more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with this Salmonella bacteria. Biological structure: A Salmonella bacterium includes; bacterial flagellum, cytoplasm, ribosomes, mesosome, a cell wall, capsule, DNA and plasma membrane. A flagellum is a thread-like structure which allows the bacteria to swim. A cytoplasm is the material within the cell, which does not include the nucleus. Ribosomes are particles which fastens messenger RNA and transfer RNA. A mesosome is a fold in…

Module 1 Essay Cells are the smallest, most basic unit of life. Cells are diverse in size and shape and the sheer number of them. Scientists make the distinction that there are two classes of cells: eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are similar yet very different. But in addition to the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, we have viruses—they are not regarded as life in the scientific community, however, they are important because they infect those which have life (i.e…

regulates what passes into and out of the cell. 3. The cell membrane is a fluid mosaic of proteins floating in a phospholipid bilayer. 1.2.2 Cytoplasm: 1. Everything within the cell membrane which is not the nucleus is known as the cytoplasm. 2. Cytosol is the jelly-like mixture in which the other organelles are suspended, so cytosol + organelles = cytoplasm. 3. Organelles carry out specific functions within the cell. In Eukaryotic cells, most organelles are surrounded by a membrane, but in…

One cool, foggy morning Bob Miller was walking to his first day of high school. As he was walking he saw this unfamiliar bright orange and red plant. He was very interested in the plant and decided to pick it up. As he inspected this unusual plant he was feeling very uneasy in the body,so he fainted and was on the ground.A few hours later a man who was walking in the trail,saw him and took him to the hospital.He was examined and figured out that he had green pills in the cell. Name of…
