Question

Determine the element from the following description.
(I) Activate enzyme of photosynthesis and respiration
(II) Involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA
(III) Help to maintain structure of ribosome

Answer 1

Answer:

(I) Magnesium activates the enzymes of respiration, photosynthesis and is involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA.

(ii) Synthesis of DNA and RNA

In retroviruses, viral RNA is inserted into a host cell nucleus. There, a viral reverse transcriptase enzyme adds DNA nucleotides onto the RNA sequence, generating cDNA that is inserted into the host cell genome by the enzyme integrase, encoding viral proteins.

(iii) Magnesium is a constituent of the ring structure of chlorophyll and helps to maintain the ribosome structure.
