Biology Questions

The genome of an organism is inscribed in DNA, or in some viruses RNA. The portion of the genome that codes for a protein or an RNA is referred to as a gene. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration. This process breaks down glucose into two pyruvic acids, and produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH. 

In eukaryotic cells, glycolysis and fermentation reactions occur in the cytoplasm.

tRNA abbreviated as A transfer RNA is an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length, that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins.

Yeast belongs to members of the Kingdom Fungi.

Yeast are single-celled microorganisms that are classified, along with molds and mushrooms in Fungi family. 

Yeasts are evolutionally diverse and are therefore classified into two separate phyla, Ascomycota or sac fungi and Basidiomycota or higher fungi, that together form the subkingdom Dikarya.

The only transport method that can move species against their concentration gradient i.e, from low to high concentration is called Active transport.

Facilitated diffusion only moves species down their concentration gradient i.e, from high to low concentration.

Protiens can help fight specific diseases, always there to regulate cell processes and build muscle/tissues.

Structural proteins also known as Fibrous proteins, are necessary components of your body. They include collagen, keratin and elastin. Collagen forms the connective framework of your muscles, bones, tendons, skin and cartilage. Keratin is the main structural component in hair, nails, teeth and skin.

• Nucleic acids store and transmit heredity.

There are nearly about 75000 enzymes of 3 classes are there in the human body. They are :

1. Metabolic Enzymes - Enzymes that help to run our Bodies

2. Digestive Enzymes - Enzymes that help in digesting Food

3. Food Enzymes - Enzymes from raw foods that start our Food digestion.

Fat is completely digested in the small intestine of the body.
