Essential nutrients
These are the organic compounds present in the food that provide nourishment essential for the development and growth of our body. Nutrients not only provide us with the required energy to carry out various biological processes but are also the building blocks for repair and growth in our bodies.
Vitamins
The vitamins are organic molecules required in low concentration for the proper functioning of the body. They cannot be generated in the organism and are taken into the body through the diet. The lack of proper vitamins results in diverse deficiency disorders. They are thus called essential nutrients. The important vitamins are vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, and vitamin E.
Chapter 12 - Explain the relationship between codons, anticodons and amino acids.
Chapter 15 - Why do cells have proto-oncogenes? What is their function?
Codons : A codon is a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides. It is 3 base sequence of nitrogeneous bases in a row on m-RNA.
Anticodons: An anticodons is a sequence of three base sequence of nitrogenous bases in a row on t-RNA.
Anticodons are present only at the anticodon loop on the tRNA.
Amino acids: They are organic compounds comprising of nitrogen,carbon,hydrogen,oxygen along with various side chain groups
They contain amine and carboxyl functional groups along with side chain specific to each aminoacid.
