4. addition of one or more sugar molecules to the side chains of some amino acids

Explanation:

Post-translational modification occurs after a polypeptide has been formed in the ribosomes after the translation of the mRNA. This involves the addition of other molecules to the chain other than the sequence of amino acids. Examples of post-translational modification are the processes of phosphorylation - adding a phosphate molecule- and glycosylation – adding a carbohydrate molecule. These modifications have significance including enabling the folding to the polypeptide to desired 3D shape, playing a regulatory function and stabilizing the protein.

The answer choices that are an example of post-translational modification is: 3. All of these choices are correct.

Translation refers to a cellular process through which a genetic code from a sequence of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) molecule is translated (decoded) to a specific sequence of amino acids, during the synthesis of protein.

On a related note, post-translational modification (PTM) can be defined as the enzymatic modification of one (1) or more amino acids on a protein in ways that their structure and function are regulated, after the translation of a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) molecule.

Some examples of post-translational modification (PTM) include the following:

Marking large macromolecules such as proteins for enzymatic destruction.The addition of a phosphate group to the side chains that make up amino acids on a protein such as tyrosine, threonine, or serine.The addition of one (1) or more sugar molecules to the side chains that make up amino acids on a protein such as glucosamine.The folding of newly translated protein molecules by chaperons.

Acar company is testing seatbelts using crash test dummies. the company finds that when cars come to a sudden stop, the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward. the seat belt keeps the crash test dummies from hitting the back of the seat in front of them. why do the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward even though the car stopped? a. the friction opposing their bodies' movement keeps them in motion. b. the inertia of their bodies keeps them in motion. c. the forward acceleration of the car keeps them in motion. d. the gravity pulling on the car keeps them in motion.

Aresearcher designed an investigation to test what effect eating different types of food would have on blood insulin levels. she selected 10 male subjects who were all 25 years of age and in good health. the experiment took place over 3 days. at 8: 00 a.m. on each day, the subjects ate a meal consisting of only 1 type of food. they had their blood insulin levels measured after consuming the meal. on day 1 they ate a high fat diet, on day 2 they ate a high protein diet, and on day 3 they ate a high sugar diel what is the independent variable in this experiment? a the age of the subjects b the blood insulin level c the type of food consumed d the time of day the meal was consumed
