Document Summary

At other end of trna is a site where one specific kind of amino acid can attach . *2 specific parts of trna: anticodon and amino acid attachment site . Each amino acid is joined to correct trna by a specific enzyme . 20 versions of these enzymes (1 enzyme/amino acid) In order to carry-out translation, a cell needs: instructions in form of mrna molecules, trna to interpret, supply of amino acids/enzymes, and atp for energy . Ribosomes = structures in the cytoplasm that position mrna and trna close together and catalyze the synthesis of polypeptides . Ribosomes are made up of 2 subunits, each made up of proteins and ribosomal rna (rrna) . Ribosomes are similar in function for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but eukaryotic ribosomes are slightly larger and different in composition: certain drugs can inactivate prokaryotic ribosomes without affection eukaryotic ones.

Facts about ribosomes

Indicate whether each of the following statements aboutribosomes is true or false.

1. Ribosomes are composed of tRNA and protein. TrueFalse
2. During translation in eukaryotes, some ribosomes remain free inthe cytoplasm while others attach to protein channels embedded inthe RER. TrueFalse
3. During initiation of translation, the small ribosomal subunitjoins to the mRNA and initiator rRNA, followed by the largeribosomal subunit. TrueFalse
4. When a ribosome first assembles on the mRNA, the initiator tRNAoccupies the A site while the P and E sites are empty.TrueFalse
5. During translation, a charged tRNA first binds to the ribosomeif its anticodon matches the codon in the E site. TrueFalse
6. A peptide bond forms between the amino acid attached to a tRNAin the A site and the growing polypeptide attached to a tRNA in theP site. TrueFalse
7. Uncharged tRNA molecules in the E site are ejected from theribosome. TrueFalse
8. No more than 2 tRNA molecules are bound to a ribosome at anygiven time. TrueFalse
9. During translocation of the ribosome, tRNA molecules move fromthe P site, to the A site, to the E site, and are then ejected fromthe ribosome. TrueFalse
10. During translation, an amino acid attached to a tRNA in the Asite is transferred to a growing polypeptide attached to a tRNA inthe P site. TrueFalse
