What is the role of amino acids in protein synthesis?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are linked together in a specific sequence to form proteins, which perform various functions in the body.

Front

What structure in plant cells is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the structures in plant cells that capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all living organisms. It provides the instructions for making proteins.

Front

What gas is produced during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis in plants.

Front

How many alleles does an offspring receive from each parent?

Back

An offspring receives one allele from each parent for a specific trait.

Front

What is the process by which plants make their own food?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains the genetic blueprint, while RNA is single-stranded and plays a role in protein synthesis.

Front

What is a gene?

Back

A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for making a specific protein or set of proteins.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular structures where protein synthesis occurs, translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into amino acid sequences.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
