Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the role of DNA in protein synthesis?

Back

DNA contains the genetic code that instructs cells on how to make proteins.

Front

Where does protein synthesis occur in the cell?

Back

Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosome.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Front

Which nitrogenous base is found in DNA but not in RNA?

Back

Thymine is found in DNA but not in RNA.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix structure.

Front

What is RNA?

Back

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) is a molecule that plays a role in protein synthesis.

Front

What is a ribosome?

Back

A ribosome is an organelle that synthesizes proteins by linking amino acids together.

Front

What is a peptide bond?

Back

A peptide bond is the chemical bond that links amino acids together to form proteins.

Front

What is transcription in protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is translation in protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes create proteins based on the sequence of mRNA.
