PROTEIN SYNTHESIS VOCABULARY QUIZ

TermDefinition
using the coded information in DNA to assemble amino acids into a specific sequence translation
the enzyme that controls the manufacturing of mRNA from DNA RNA polymerase
sections of transcribed mRNA that do not code for amino acids and are "snipped out" fo the mRNA strand introns
the organelle that actually assembles the polypeptide chain ribosome
the enzyme that controls the replication of DNA DNA polymerase
sections of mRNA that are actually read as codons when making the protein; they are spliced together during mRNA processing exons
a chain of nucleotides in RNA that contain the anticodon; these RNA strands bring the amino acids to the ribosome during the building of the polypeptide chanin tRNA
almost every cellular and extracellular substance made by a cell structural protein
UAA, UAG, and UGA terminate the translation process when they reach the A site of the ribosome stop codons
a 3 base sequence in mRNA that codes for a particular amino acid codon
the process that places the DNA code into a sequence of bases in an mRNA molecule transcription
formed by the transcription of the DNA molecule mRNA
sum of all of an organisms life processes metabolism
the 3 base sequence in tRNA that is complimentary to an mRNA sequence anticodon
AUG begins the process of translation when it reaches the A site of the ribosome start codon
the portion of the nucleotide that can be called the alphabet of life (A, T, C, G) nitrogen base
a type of RNA that combines with various proteins to form a ribosome in the cytoplasm rRNA
the overall process of building a protein using a DNA code protein synthesis
the process of DNA makeing an exact copy of itself replication
a three part subunit of DNA and RNA; made up of a phosphate group, ribose sugar, and one of four nitrogen bases nucleotide

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
