Question

Give an overview of the process depicted in the diagram.

Answer the question using complete sentences

Answer 1

This is protein synthasis. During this process, light strikes the photosystem found on the ribosome initiating codon sequencing reading with the start codon ETC. Photosystem 2 will read the mRNA 3 codons at a time, all the way down the polypeptide chain until it reaches a stop codon (3 possible codons). Once finished, you have a robust protein ready for use by the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The given figure depicts the process of translation.

Translation is the process by which the mRNA is deciphered into the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide chain.

Ribosomes serve as the site of the translation.

The small and large subunits of the ribosome form the complex around the start codon of the mRNA.

It created three sites namely; A, P and E sites.

A site is a site where the charged tRNA enters the complex.

It then adds the amino acid specific to the codon sequence of the mRNA to the growing polypeptide chain at P site.

Uncharged tRNA then leave the complex through E site.
