Which pathways release energy through the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones?
Hydrogen Bonds
A weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.
Anticodons
Sequences of three nucleotides on transfer RNA molecules that are complementary to codons on messenger RNA and ensure the correct amino acids are added during protein synthesis.
Base-pairing Bonds
The hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotides (adenine with thymine or uracil, and cytosine with guanine) in DNA or RNA.
Transcription
The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
