2.2B Protein synthes

2.2B protein synthesis translation

TermDefinition
anticodon a sequence of three nucleotides on a tRNA molecule; during translation, the anticodon pairs with a complementary mRNA codon
elongation stage of translation when tRNA molecules are delivering amino acids to an mRNA strand. Peptide bonds form to join amino acids into a polypeptide
initiation first step of the translation process, when a ribosome assembles at the AUG start codon on mRNA
polypeptide a chain of amino acids joined by peptide bonds
polyribosome a string of ribosomes translating the same mRNA strand at the same time, but in different locations, during protein synthesis; also called a polysome
rRNA ribosomal RNA, a component of ribosomes
start/stop codons
termination end of translation of a polypeptide, when the ribosome reaches a stop codon; a release factor frees the polypeptide chain, and the ribosome disassembles
translation process by which the sequence of codons in mRNA dictates the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide
tRNA Transfer RNA delivers amino acids to mRNA during polypeptide chain elongation; anticodon site binds with mRNA codons

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
