later fold into an active protein. In bacteria‚ translation occurs in the cell’s cytoplasm‚ where the large and small subunits of the ribosome are located‚ and bind to the mRNA. In eukaryotes‚ translation occurs across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum in a process called vectorial synthesis. The ribosome facilitates decoding by inducing the binding of tRNAs with complementary anticodonsequences to that of the mRNA. The tRNAs carry specific amino acids that are chained together into a polypeptide

eukaryotic cells‚ genetic information coded in DNA is located in the nucleus‚ which is typically the most prominent organelle in the cell. 4.5 Among the many organelles in the cytoplasm are ribosomes‚ which synthesize proteins: endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complexes‚ which process proteins: and mitochondria and chloroplasts‚ which convert energy from one form to

One of the exhibits at the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Silver Spring focused on bioterrorism used in World War I‚ specifically gas attacks on soldiers. Poison gas is still seen as one of the world’s most terrifying a detrimental weapon used in wars. Gas attacks would greatly affect the soldiers because the poisonous gas could be released at any time without warning. Gas attacks could also quickly spread due to a gust of wind‚ only harming more soldiers. To help combat these attacks

omega-oxidation at methyl end of the fatty acid. The location of each mechanism also differs as alpha- oxidation occurs in peroxisomes only‚ beta-oxidation can take place in both peroxisomes and mitochondria. Omega-oxidation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum of the various tissues. The importance of the differentiation leads to the findings of large number of genetically disorders where either alpha or beta-oxidation are deficient either due to a enzyme or transporter defect. This can result in

1. Within the circulatory system the liver has a unique anatomic location in that it effectively filters all blood coming from the intestinal tract by way of the portal vein before it is pumped to the general circulation. The liver often sees drugs at their highest concentrations‚ since it is the first organ perfused by blood containing the drug after absorption from the intestinal tract. Approximately 10-15% of total blood volume can be presented to the liver at any given time. The entire absorbed
