Question

growing peptide chain, trna, mrna (diagram of translation process with labels to fill)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the structures in translation

In the process of translation (protein synthesis), the components are: the ribosome (has two subunits, the large and small; the orange and light - colored parts here), mRNA (the strand the ribosome is on), tRNA (the yellow - green structure carrying an amino acid), and the growing peptide chain (the blue chain). The light - colored structure at the bottom (holding the mRNA) is the small ribosomal subunit. The orange structure is the large ribosomal subunit. The blue chain is the growing polypeptide (peptide) chain. The yellow - green is tRNA.

Step2: Match to the labels

  • The bottom blank (pointing to the light - colored structure) should be labeled "Small ribosomal subunit".
  • The middle blank (pointing to the orange structure) should be labeled "Large ribosomal subunit".
  • The top blank (pointing to the blue chain) should be labeled "Polypeptide (or growing peptide chain, but since 'Growing peptide chain' is already labeled for the connection, maybe just 'Polypeptide' or confirm the standard label. Wait, the 'Growing peptide chain' is connected to the tRNA - bound amino acid addition. Wait, maybe the top right blank (above the blue chain) is for the "Polypeptide chain" (since the growing peptide chain is being built), the middle right (pointing to the orange) is "Large ribosomal subunit", and the bottom left (pointing to the light - colored) is "Small ribosomal subunit".

Answer:

  • Bottom blank: Small ribosomal subunit
  • Middle blank: Large ribosomal subunit
  • Top blank: Polypeptide chain
