Q

Small hair like structures used for movement or sensing things

22
Q

Composed of phospholipid bilayer

A

Cell membrane

23
Q

Membranous sacs containing a variety of powerful enzymes (oxidase and catalases)

A

Peroxisomes

24
Q

In what organelle does cellular respiration take place?

A

The mitochondria

25
Q

What is the list of organelles that take part in protein synthesis?

A

The nucleus, ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and the golgi apparatus

26
Q

How is the nucleus involved in protein synthesis?

A

The RNA polymerase unzips and reads one side of the DNA strand (found in the nucleus) and mRNA is formed

27
Q

How does the membrane of cell differ from the nuclear membrane? What advantages does this difference have for the nucleus?

A

The cell membrane protects the cell while the nuclear membrane only protects the nucleus. This advantages the nucleus because it gets twice the protection.

28
Q

What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER?

A

Rough ER has ribosomes and smooth ER doesn’t

29
Q

What is the first step of protein synthesis?

A

Transcription

30
Q

What is the second step of protein synthesis?

A

Translation

31
Q

Where does the first step of protein synthesis occur?

A

In the nucleus

32
Q

Where does the second step of protein synthesis occur?

A

Cytoplasm and ribosomes

33
Q

How many nitrogen bases are read at a time?

34
Q

What are the bases on mRNA strands called?

35
Q

What are the bases on tRNA called?

A

Anti-codons

36
Q

What is the start codon?

37
Q

What are the stop codons?

A

UAG, AUG, UAA

38
Q

A bunch of amino acids put together makes _______

39
Q
