When someone says the word "desert," what plant do you picture? You're probably picturing the saguaro cactus. Saguaros are known for their long, tall branches that look like
arms. These branches don't start to grow until the cactus is 50 to 70 years old. The folds
along the saguaro's stem and branches are called pleats. What are they for? These pleats
store water for the cactus, which is important in the hot, dry desert. A desert plant's spikes
aren't just to keep animals away. They also help provide shade during the long hours they
spend in the sun.
A saguaro cactus will
A
store water in its pleats.
B
shoot spikes at animals.
С
only live up to 70 years.
D
grow branches immediately

The empty trna moves off and picks up another matching amino acid from the cytoplasm in the cell. the anticodon of the trna, with its attached amino acid, pairs to the codon of the mrna, which is attached to a ribosome. this sequence is repeated until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mrna, which signals the end of protein synthesis. the ribosome forms a peptide bond between the amino acids, and an amino acid chain begins to form. when a second trna with its specific amino acid pairs to the next codon in sequence, the attached amino acid breaks from the first trna and is bonded to the amino acid of the second trna.
