Protein Synthesis
Protein Synthesis review game made for NCVPS
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Protein Synthesis | The process of making proteins using transcription & translation. |
| RNA | Single stranded, contains ribose sugar, and Uracil (U) |
| mRNA | Made during transcription and carries the code to make a protein from the DNA to a ribosome |
| tRNA | Brings amino acids to ribosomes; pairs with codons on mRNA |
| Ribosome | organelle where translation takes place and proteins are made |
| DNA | Double stranded, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, controls protein synthesis, has Thymine (T) |
| Translation | 2nd part of protein synthesis - The ribosomes read mRNA and tRNA matches codon to create a protein |
| Transcription | The first part of protein synthesis, where DNA is copied to make mRNA |
| Uracil (U) | found in RNA not in DNA |
| Thymine (T) | found in DNA not RNA |
