Summary Introduction
To write:
An advantage of organelle compartmentalization.
Introduction:
Organelles are distinctive, extremely structured structures that perform specific cell tasks. The two kinds of organelles are seen in cells that are membranous and nonmembranous organelles. The membranous organelles are contained in a membrane, while nonmembranous organelles are not surrounded by a membrane.

They are involved in the formation of the axoneme. Actin microfilaments are the most stable cytoskeleton network. Can undergo catastrophe due to GTP hydrolysis-mediated conformational changes. Synthesis and degradation of actin microfilaments is directional, with g-actin subunits added only to the + end of the microfilament while depolymerization occurs at the - end. From the list below, select the correct statements regarding the genetic code. Codons code for 30 distinct amino acids. The basis of the genetic code are codons. The genetic code has a possible 64 different codons. The genetic code has built-in degeneracy. Codons are formed by 5 consecutive nucleotides.arrow_forward
