Textbook Question
Chapter 13.7, Problem 2CC
Retrieve, Infer, Apply
Briefly describe the structure of transfer RNA and relate this to its function. How are amino acids activated for protein synthesis, and why is the specificity of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase reaction so important?

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
a) List three eukaryotic gene expression mechanisms that do not occur in prokaryotes. For two of these, give specific examples and the functional outcomes.
b) Describe what is meant by the term “RNA silencing”.
c) Using diagrams, give two examples of RNA silencing mechanisms and indicate one difference.
Need help:, The rRNAs are isolated from the large subunit of a bacterial ribosome and separated by density
gradient centrifugation. Draw the resulting density gradient and label the bands observed. Which rRNA is longest?
Measure the uptake of leucine by epithetial cells of the mouse intestine.
Measurements of the rate of update of L-leucine, D-Leucine, and L-valine , with and without
Na+ in the assay were perform and yield different results (see table below). A) What can you
conclude about the properties and mechanism of leucine transporter? B) Would you expect
L-leucine uptake to be inhibited by Ouabain, which is a cardiac glycoside drug treatment?
