Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

A polysome consist of a cluster of ribosomes that are held, simultaneously by a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA) in rosette or helical group.They contain a portion of the genetic code that each ribosome is translating and are used in formation of multiple copies of same polypeptide. They are found in the cytoplasm during the process of active protein synthesis.

  3. er molecules possess kinetic energy. In liquid and gaseous form in random motion that is both rapid and constant. The greater ventration of water in a system, the greater is its kinetic enengy or otential'. Hence, it is obvious that pure water will have the greatest tential. If two systems containing water are in contact, random nt of water molecules will result in net movement of water s from the system with higher energy to the one with lower energy. ater will move from the system containing water at higher water I to the one having low water potential This process of movement ances down a gradient of free energy is called diffusion. Water 1 is denoted by the Greek symbol Psi or and is expressed in units such as pascals . By convention, the water potential ater at standard temperatures, which is not under any pressure to be zero.
