What is the relationship between the kinetic energy of molecules in an object and the object's
temperature?
o As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
O As the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases, the temperature increases.
O
The kinetic energy always increases whether the temperature increases or decreases.
O
The total kinetic energy of the molecules is not affected by a change in temperature.

hey there!

so, when you eat, your teeth chew and grind food into smaller pieces. this is mechanical digestion. then reactions aided by digestive enzymes break down large food molecules into smaller molecules. this is chemical digestion. the two processes change the food into simpler substances that can be used by the body for raw materials and energy.

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.
