DNA and Protein

Which form of glucose is stored in the human liver and muscle?

• Cellulose

• Glycogen

• Lipids

• Starch

Which biomolecule is made of nucleotides and contain you DNA?

• Carbohydrate
• Lipids
• Protein
• Nucleic Acid

Which biomolecule contains pastas and breads?

• Lipid
• Protein
• Nucleic Acid
• Carbohydrate

What is the function of nucleic acids?

• Stores energy
• Stores genetic information
• Movement
• Physical structure

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen are elements in what biomolecule?

• Carbohydrate
• Lipid
• Protein
• Nucleic acid

What are the four biological molecules?

• proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids
• A, T, C, G
• water, air, earth, and fire
• Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas

Where does TRANSCRIPTION occur?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

Answer explanation

Transcription is the process of copying genetic information from DNA into mRNA. It occurs in the nucleus of a cell, where the DNA is located. During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the DNA and moves along the DNA strand, copying the genetic information into mRNA.

Which organelle makes proteins?

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleotide

Answer explanation

The organelle where protein is made is the ribosome. Ribosomes are small organelles found in the cytoplasm of cells. They are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, which are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. Ribosomes are responsible for translating the genetic code of messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins.

What is the term for a three-nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid?

• base

• codon

• amine

• serine

Answer explanation

The term for a three-nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid is a codon. A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that forms a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, which is then used to build proteins.

The process to go from DNA to mRNA is
(a)  

• transcription
• translation
• replication

Answer explanation

Transcription. Transcription is the process of copying the genetic information from a strand of DNA into a complementary strand of mRNA. During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the DNA and moves along the strand, reading the genetic code and creating a complementary strand of mRNA. The mRNA is then used to create proteins.
