C-A-U



G-T-A

how does a chemical catalyst increase the rate of a reaction

by decreasing the energy of activation

RNA synthesis from a DNA template is called

transcription

which of these are functions of the Golgi apparatus

modifying proteins synthesized on ribosomes associated with granular endoplasmic reticulum and allowing the distribution of modified proteins throughout the cell in vesicles

free ribosomes differ from membrane-bound ribosomes in the free ribosomes specialize in synthesizing proteins for export(secretion) from the cell
