Which of the following correctly describes how a diagram of cellular respiration would differ from a diagram of photosynthesis?
O e cellular-respiration diagram would show electromagnetic waves as the final product.
The cellular-respiration diagram would show glucose as the main source of energy.
O The cellular-respiration diagram would show water as the main source of chemical energy.
O The cellular-respiration diagram would show energy stored in large protein molecules.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

the three components of a nucleotide are the nitrogenous base, the phosphate group and the five-carbon sugar.

the correct answer is d
