question 25

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes the assembly process to initiate translation in prokaryotes?

• A) small ribosome subunit associates with large subunit; mRNA associates next; IFs bring in first f-Met-tRNA; bound NTP hydrolyzed.
• B) IF binds f-Met-tRNA; small ribosome subunit associates next; mRNA associates next; then large subunit; bound NTP hydrolyzed.
• C) IF w\ bound NTP binds f-Met-tRNA; mRNA associates next; small subunit associates next; bound NTP hydrolyzed; large subunit associates.
• D) small subunit associates with mRNA; IF w\ bound NTP brings in first f-Met-tRNA; IF then hydrolyses bound NTP; large subunit associates

Definitions:

Marginal Cost Curve

A curve that shows the cost of producing one more unit of a good or service, typically upward sloping because of increasing marginal costs.

Average Variable Cost Curve

A graphical representation of the variable cost per unit at different levels of output.

Total Variable Costs

The sum of all costs that vary with the level of output or production in the short run, such as materials and labor expenses.

Total Cost

The entire cost of production, including both fixed and variable costs, incurred by a business in manufacturing a good or providing a service.
