    them does unique function to the fullest and in perfect way. Indeed, in this paper I would analyze the parts of the cells in animal and bacteria, besides the functions, such as the Nucleus, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, and Ribosomes or Chromosomes. At the beginning, I would not go deeper directly, so I will give a preface, this section is going to be analytic section for the parts of the eukaryotes and the prokaryotes. The eukaryotic type that are in the human bodies has many

    Without DNA you are basically nothing in flesh. DNA is what makes you, you. Without it you wouldn’t be able to know who you are. Polypeptides are chains of amino acids. Polypeptides are formed on the ribosomes when one part of a strand of DNA is broken. Ribosomes make polypeptides by stringing amino acids together. Amino acids are simple organic compounds containing carboxyl and an amino group. Proteins use a least one or more polypeptide molecule. A codon is basically a hydrogen bond stringing two

    6) Translation describes the process in which a polypeptide chain is assembled by ribosomes from amino acid. A ribosome receives amino acids from inbound tRNA molecules and attaches them to the emergent polypeptide of the ribosome. The tRNA contains a 3 character sequence known as an anticodon that acts to describe the incoming amino acid, the initiating codon attaches and reads the incoming message and then distributes the amino acid to build upon the polypeptide chain (Nelson Education, page 310)

    structure.(www.uniprot.org/keywords/974). Another cellular feature shared by both Archaea and Bacteria is size and arrangement of ribosomes. Their ribosomes are much smaller in comparison to eukaryotes. The function of their ribosomes is similar to the ones in eukaryotes; for translating mRNA codons to sequence of amino acids for the synthesis of proteins. Both have 70S Ribosomes composed of 30S and 50S sub units that are joined to make a 70S unit. They contain “three ribonucleic acid molecules” consisting

    Different proteins are made by using different sequences and varying numbers of amino acids. The smallest protein consists of fifty amino acids and the largest is about three thousand amino acids long. Protein synthesis occurs on ribosomes in the cytoplasm of a cell but is controlled by DNA located in the nucleus. Protein synthesis is a two-part process that involves a second type of nucleic acid along with DNA. This second type of nucleic acid is RNA, ribonucleic

    RNA strand is growing, it hangs freely from the template while it is forming, once it is finished the DNA strand closes. The new RNA strand then separates and the transcription complex falls apart. (Khan Academy, 2017) Translation is when the ribosomes in the cytoplasm or the ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum), synthesize the proteins. The mRNA is decoded to produce a polypeptide or specific amino acid chain. The mRNA is a group of RNA molecules that carry information from the nucleus. A polypeptide is

    surrounds the organelle, and the inner membrane has many folds that increase the surface area of the mitochondrion. Ribosomes are the structures in which proteins are made. Cells that are active in protein synthesis are often crowded with ribosomes. Ribosomes are composed of RNA and protein. Some ribosomes are attached to the membranes, and some are free in the cytoplasm. Ribosomes are among the smallest of organelles. They are no larger than 25 nanometers in diameter. A nanometer is equal to one

    different proteins. 3. Why is the RER rough, and what is the point of this “roughness”? (1 pt) The Rough ER is rough because its outer surface is studded with ribosomes. The point of the roughness is that ribosomes are the sites of protein translation. 4. What is the role of ribosomes? (1 pt) The subunits of ribosomes target and bind to mRNA. Ribosomes then link amino acids together based on the mRNA template. They do this by pairing the codons of the mRNA

    Nucleus, and is the main site for ribosome formation. Nuclear Membrane The Nuclear Membrane surrounds the Nucleus, which is known as a Porous Membrane. This is covered in pores, which are tiny holes that allow the exchange of RNA to move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Proteins that are desired by the Nucleus are also able to move through these pores. Nucleolus The Nucleolus is the organelle structure inside the nucleus; it supports the synthesis of ribosomes, which is where the Ribosomal RNA

    to life. As stated above, there were three different prokaryotic cells, one larger than the others engulfed the other two but didn’t digest them. The evidence to support this is as follows; first, membrane. Then DNA, antibiotics, division and ribosomes. Some organelles have double membrane which proves the endosymbiotic theory. There can be double the DNA because the mitochondria and chloroplast each has their own structure. Since mitochondria and chloroplast each has their own structure of DNA
