AI Thread Summary
t-RNA plays a crucial role in protein synthesis by transporting specific amino acids to the ribosome, where m-RNA serves as a template. Each t-RNA molecule is linked to a specific amino acid and recognizes corresponding codons on the m-RNA through its anticodon. This process ensures that amino acids are added in the correct sequence to form a protein. Aminoacyl t-RNAs are the activated forms of t-RNA that supply the amino acids during translation. Understanding this mechanism is essential for grasping how proteins are synthesized in cells.

Homework Statement



I am not able to clearly understand the role of t-RNA in the synthesis of proteins using m-RNA as a template.
please explain how does a t-RNA supply an amino acid??

It's aminoacyl t-RNAs that are used for the job - it's all in all the textbooks.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
