Almuñécar: The Tourist Capital of Costa Tropical

Classified in English

Written at on English with a size of 4.7 KB.

Almuñécar is a small town in the southwestern region of the Grenadine Coast, and constitutes the tourist capital of the Costa Tropical. Despite its small size, there are a lot of places that could be visited and also you could do a lot of activities like surfing or skydiving.

Nonetheless, there are some disadvantages like the long distance between monuments or the amount of tourists that makes it difficult to walk quietly in some places. Habitually, it is a familiar trip that we do every year since I was 7 years. We also stay in the same hotel because it is very familiar and nowadays we have friends there.

Finally, if I have to say something to improve it, it would be swimming pool hours, because I wish I had more time.

Translation

Translation refers to the process of polymerization of amino acids to form a polypeptide. The order and sequence of amino acids are defined by the sequence of bases in the mRNA. The amino acids are joined by a bond known as a peptide bond. Formation of a peptide bond requires energy. Therefore, in the first phase itself amino acids are activated in the presence of ATP and linked to their cognate tRNA–a process commonly called as charging of tRNA or aminoacylation of tRNA to be more specific. If two such charged tRNAs are brought close enough, the formation of peptide bond between them would be favored energetically. The presence of a catalyst would enhance the rate of peptide bond formation.
