How do genes direct the production of proteins? Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce other molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression.
ENERGY FUELS Uranium Mining. Energy Fuels is America's premier integrated uranium miner. Uranium is the fuel for nuclear, which is the true green energy as it provides emission-free and carbon-free electricity.
It canbe released from atoms in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to forma larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy.In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy.Nuclearpower plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity. NUCLEAR FUEL-URANIUM The fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission is uranium.nstead,nuclear plants use the heat given off during fission as fuel. Fission takes place inside thereactor of a nuclear power plant. At the center of the reactor is the core, which contains theuranium fuel.The uranium fuel is formed into ceramic pellets.
