Protein Synthesis
Protein Synthesis review game made for NCVPS
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Protein Synthesis | The process of making proteins and has two parts, 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 | Bring amino acids to ribosomes and match with codons on mRNA |
Ribosome | Made of rRNA, this is the 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 |
