Unit 5: Protein Synthesis

Question 1

DNA are codes for what?

Answer 1

Proteins

Question 2

What do proteins do?

Answer 2

used for the function of the cell and enzymes help carry out reactions.

Question 3

What is the order of events to express gene?

Answer 3

DNA → RNA → PROTEINS

Question 4

Why can’t DNA transport itself out from the nucleus?

Answer 4

DNA is too BIG, so a messenger (RNA) is used to take the code to ribsomes!

Question 5

What is the difference between RNA and DNA?

Answer 5

RNA has ribose sugar, They have a Uracil base instead of a Thymine, It is single stranded

Question 6

What are the three types of RNA?

Answer 6

mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA

Question 7

What is tRNA?

Answer 7

transports amino acids to ribsome, so they can make proteins.

Question 8

What is mRNA?

Answer 8

copies code information from nucleus out to ribosomes in cytoplasm for protein synthesis

Question 9

What is rRNA?

Answer 9

helps form ribosomes and links amino acids together to make proteins.

Question 10

What is codon?

Answer 10

Uses a series of codons (mRNA+ 3 bases) to order the ribsome to create amino acids!

Question 11

What is anticodon?

Answer 11

Uses anti-codon to help the codon to create the amino acids!! (complementary) (tRNA)

Question 12

What is the first step to assembling proteins?

Answer 12

Transcripition

Question 13

What does the step of Transcription do?

Answer 13

Is the process of taking code from DNA to the ribsome in the cytoplasm (using mRNA)

Question 14

What is the second step to assembling proteins?

Answer 14

Translation

Question 15

What is the Translation process?

Answer 15

The process of taking mRNA and using it to create animo acids (tRNA helps with this), which then creates proteins (rRNA links them together)! (in cytoplasm and ribosome of cell)

Question 16

What is the codon chart?

Answer 16

It is a the chart for all of the amino acids that can be created with the three nitrogenous bases.
