What is a gene?

Back

A string of nucleotides that contain the information to make a specific protein.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

A process that requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Front

What role does tRNA play in translation?

Plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis from sunlight.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Back

Passive transport does not require energy, while active transport requires energy.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where amino acids are assembled into proteins.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein structure and function.
