| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| anabolism | process which breaks down molecules and releases energy |
| anticodon | opposite triplet to the codon |
| catabolism | process which builds molecules and stores energy |
| codon | triplet of bases that are codes for an amino acid |
| metabolism | the functions of an organism to maintain homeostasis |
| mRNA | receives the protein code through transcription |
| protein | twisted and looped polypeptides chain of amino acids |
| rRNA | combines with proteins to form ribosomes |
| transcription | when DNA unzips to form mRNA |
| tRNA | carries the anticodon to combine with the mRNA codon |
| DNA paired bases | adenosine-thymine; cytosine-guanine |
