Students are asked to pair a plant structure to its physiological function as well as give evidence for why that structure is important for the process they describe.
• Shantal: The cambium are important for photosynthesis because they allow water into the plant
which is needed as a reactant for photosynthesis.
• Jamil: The phloem is needed for cellular respiration as it transports the carbon dioxide to the leaves
in order to perform cellular respiration.
• Enrique: The guard cells are needed during food production because they regulate how much water
the plant retains or loses during glycolysis.
• Anne: The seeds of the plant are needed for reproductive purposes and they can be dispersed or
spread out over a large area.
Which student correctly described a plant structure, its physiological function, and gave appropriate
evidence?
O Shantal
O Jamil
O Enrique
O Anne

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
