PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

Question 1

Proteins are bundles of long chains of

Answer 1

Amino Acids

Question 2

What do proteins do for you in cells?

Answer 2

Help with structure, function, regulation of body tissues and organs

Question 3

Proteins make what kind of defence to protect your body from pathogens?

Answer 3

antibodies

Question 4

what are the transcription functions?

Answer 4

takes the information encoded in DNA and encodes it to mRNA, then heads out of the cell’s nucleus and heads to the cytoplasm

Question 5

what is the translation function?

Answer 5

mRNA works with a tRNA and a ribosome to synthesize protein.

Question 6

what are RNA bases?

Answer 6

Adenine Guanine Cytosine Uracil

Question 7

The mRNA code is made up of groups of how many codes, And what are they known as?

Answer 7

Triplet codes known as codons

Question 8

The tRNA also has a special sequence of 3 bases known as?

Answer 8

anti-codon

Question 9

What is a start codon and what is a stop codon?

Answer 9

a start codon starts protein synthesis stop codon tells when it will stop to “ship out”

Question 10

what does RNA stand for?

Answer 10

Ribonucleic acid

Question 11

RNA bases

Answer 11

Adenine Guanine Cytosine Uracil

Question 12

What happens after the RNA is built?

Answer 12

leaves the nucleus and finds the ribosome

Question 13

What happens when RNA reaches the ribosome?

Answer 13

ribosome reads the DNA and builds a amino acid sequence based on the instructions given by the RNA.

Question 14

How many bases of RNA codes for one amino acid?

Answer 14

every 3 bases

Question 15

describe what the amino acid looks like when built up

Answer 15

long chain like a pearl necklace

Question 16

Where does the protein go after when it’s built ? (by amino acids)

Answer 16

goes to the golgi body where its packaged and sent off to do its job
