The following points highlight the six main components of cytoplasm of bacteria. The components are: 1. Ribosomes 2. Molecular Chaperones 3. Nucleoids 4. Plasmids 5. Cytoplasmic Inclusions 6. Spore and Cysts. Component # 1. Ribosomes: All living cells contain ribosomes which act as a site of protein synthesis. High number of ribosomes represents high rate of protein synthesis and vice [...]
In this article we will discuss about the structure of RNA. The RNA is usually single stranded except some viruses such as TMV, yellow mosaic virus, influenza virus, foot and mouth disease virus, reovirus, wound tumour virus, etc. which have dsRNA. The single strand of the RNA is folded either at certain regions or entirely to form hairpin-shaped structure. In [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between DNA and RNA. Difference # DNA: 1. DNA is originated from RNA. 2. DNA is the genetic material of almost all living organisms. 3. Except a few (e.g. Φ * 174), most of DNA viruses is double stranded. 4. Pentose Sugar is deoxyribose. 5. The bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine [...]
