    Hi! This is a great thread for getting motivated, or just marveling out how much work Sparkly-Star does, or how high Narik scores in tests :moon:

    That sounds like an advert :dry:
    and witnessing how badly she fails in June unless she gets her butt on here everyday and works hard. :p:

    Okay, to do tomorrow (I'm going back to my timetable):

    • German vocab learning - 45 mins
    • History AS Tudors
    • Biology
    • German grammar
    • History AS Germany
    • Memorise German presentation


    Hmm, my list seems so short now that I've done the A2 Tudors stuff... I guess I could start revision on that now.

    Well clearly whatever you did in January worked - so just repeat that!

    Describe tRNA and mRNA
    Aha a more serious question.

    tRNA is a single stranded molecule consisting of a backbone of ribose sugar and phosphates bonded to each other and with one nitrogenous base (Uracil, guanine, adenine and cytosine) bonded to each sugar. The strand is folded into a clover shape (bonded by intramolecular base-pairing) and has an anticodon at one end consisting of a specific three base long sequence. At the other end, an amino acid is bonded to the molecule via an ester bond that can be easily hydrolised).

    mRNA is also a single stranded polynucleotide with a backbone of phosphate and ribose sugar with a nitrogenous base (could be uracil, guanine, cytosine or adenine) bonded to each sugar. The molecule is long and has the complementary base sequence to that of the gene it has been transcribed from.

    Good description no? Missed out a few bits I know but I covered the basics.

    The alternative is God created it but I don't like that option
