View attachment 18170 Why is the answer D ?
Are there really antigens on the surface of phagocytes ?
From the cambridge book it says that there are antibody receptors on white blood cells.I just dont get it !
Do you recall that process where specific antigens to a pathogen are arranged on the cell surface membrane of phagocytes?

20 A peptide consists of ten amino acids of four different kinds.
What is the theoretical minimum number of different tRNA molecules required to translate the
mRNA for this peptide?
A 4
B 10
C 12
D 30

Help? I dont understand!

Answer is A.
tRNA can be reused, meaning that after the amino acid that it holds creates a peptide bond with another amino acid, the tRNA molecule leaves the amino acid and try to bond with the same type of amino acids lying in the cytoplasm.

There are four types of amino acids, therefore 4 types of tRNA can be used.

hope my answer helps.

tRNA molecule is specific to one type of aminoacid. Since the polypeptide contains four different types of aminoacids, the minimum number of tRNA molecules needed would be 4. One for each type of amino acid.

Because cigarette smoke contains nicotine, the nicotine causes atherosclerosis (which occurs when macrophages accumulate in arteries ) to occur where fats and cholesterol build up in arteries (causing plaques). This is why the blood cholesterol level increases.
