Translation mid term

Question 1

Translation

Answer 1

The process of changing the info carried by mRNA molecule into a sequence of amino acids that make up a protein

Question 2

How do Nucleic acids control cell activities?

Answer 2

directing protein synthesis

Question 3

How many amino acids are there?

Answer 3

20

Question 4

What do amino acids do?

Answer 4

bond together and make proteins

Question 5

Structual proteins

Answer 5

hair and nails

Question 6

transport proteins

Answer 6

hemoglobin in your blood

Question 7

movment proteins

Answer 7

muscle fiber

Question 8

defense proteins

Answer 8

antibodies

Question 9

proteins that regulate cell function

Answer 9

hormones and enzymes

Question 10

codon

Answer 10

three nitrogenous bases on the mRNA strand

Question 11

How many different codons are there?

Answer 11

64

Question 12

What does each codon represent?

Answer 12

amino acid

Question 13

what does the transport RNA do?

Answer 13

Carries amino acids (which are floating in cytoplasm) to the mRNA strand

Question 14

anitcodon

Answer 14

is found on tRNA and matches with the codon

Question 15

How do amino acids get to the mRNA and ribosome

Answer 15

-Each tRNA brings only one 1 amino acid to the mRNA strand
-tRNA has an anticodon that bonds to the codon on the mRNA strand (this ensures the correct amino acid are brought to the mRNA strand)

Question 16

Primary protein

Answer 16

sequence of amino acids in a protein

Question 17

secondary proteins

Answer 17

animo acids hydorgen bond to form helices and sheets

Question 18

tertiary proteins

Answer 18

3D structure of a protein, attractions form between helices and sheets

Question 19

quaterary protein

Answer 19

protein consisting of more than one amino acid chain
