Transcription. Transcription is the name given to the process where the information in a gene in a DNA strand is transferred to an RNA molecule. The coding strand and the template strand of DNA. The important thing to realise is that the genetic information is carried on only one of the two strands of the DNA. This is known as the coding strand.
1 Sugar diffuses from the mesophyll in the leaf to the phloem cells in the vascular bundles. 2  Specialized cells called companion cells load the dissolved sugar into the sugar-conducting cells (called sieve elements) of the phloem by using cellular ATP as an energy source. - collections of similar cells that serve a specific purpose by functioning together. 2  Unlike animals, the major organs of plants (roots, stems, and leaves) are all composed of the same three tissues (epidermis, vascular tissues, and ground tissues).
ATP, a high energy molecule, is expended by working cells. Cellular respiration occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. There are three main stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport/oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis. Glycolysis literally means splitting sugars. Glucose, a six carbon sugar, is split into two molecules of a three carbon sugar. Glycolysis takes place in the cell's cytoplasm. Glucose and oxygen are supplied to cells by the bloodstream. In the process of glyoclysis, two molecules of ATP, two molecules of pyruvic acid and two high energy electron carrying molecules of NADH are produced. Glycolysis can occur with or without oxygen. In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is the first stage of aerobic cellular respiration. Without oxygen, glycolysis allows cells to make small amounts of ATP. This process is called anaerobic respiration or fermentation.
