Translate the following DNA Strand:
GUC AUG UUU AGU UCC CUA UAG

The complimentary strand of codons would be CAG-UAC-AAA-UCA-AGG-GAU-AUC.

Explanation:

C (Cytosine) pairs to G (Guanine).

Think of it as *C*ar in the *G*arage.

A (Adenine) pairs to U (Uracil).

Think of it as *A*pples *U*nder the tree.

(GUC) Valine (AUG) start codon ( UUU) lysine (AGU) serine (UCC) serine (CUA) serine (UAG) codons

sorry, but you do not have posted the diagram.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
