If a sRNA is bound to the ribosome binding sequence of a mRNA coding for an enzyme in a bacteria, what offect will tis have on the amount of enzyme in this cel? O Decrease O Increase

Decrease

Explanation:

Gene expression, which involves the production of useful gene products, occurs in two stages: transcription and translation. Transcription synthesizes a mRNA transcript by copying the information in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. This mRNA sequence is then read during translation to synthesize amino acids (proteins) in a process called translation.

Translation is initiated when a transfer RNA (tRNA) binds to the binding sequence of the mRNA in the ribosome. However, gene expression (translation) in bacteria are regulated by short non-coding nucleotide sequences called small RNA or sRNA. sRNA's are regulators that inhibits translation by binding to the initiation site on the mRNA molecule, thus preventing the binding of the tRNA for translation to proceed.

If a sRNA binds to the binding site of a mRNA coding for an enzyme, it means the rate at which the enzyme (protein) will be produced will be low or not at all. Hence, there will be a decrease in the synthesis of that particular enzyme.

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
