Q: Explain how RNA works

A: RNA doesn't read the DNA strand. It is polymerasing enzymes that reads the DNA and then spits out a thread of RNA mirroring the sequence of information in the DNA strand.

Q: What triggers the RNA to form the protein?

A: RNA doesn't form the protien. The RNA strand is passed to a ribosome enzyme, which reads the RNA strand and spits out a chain of amino acids reflecting the sequence of information in the RNA strand, so it's the ribosome which forms the protien..

Q: How does the body use the proteins?

A: For structure and function. If it's collagin protien, then that's an example of a structure protien, and if it's catylase, then that's an example of an enzyme, which is function protien.

• Is the ribosome enzyme a molecular machine?

Maybe.

Viruses are molecular robots.
