DNA, RNA, Protein Sy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| RNA | Stands for ribonucleic acid, single stranded molecule that helps deliver the code to build proteins |
| TRANSCRIPTION | Occurs in the nucleus; DNA is rewritten into mRNA |
| TRANSLATION | Occurs in the ribosome; amino acids are connected to make a protein |
| RIBOSOME | site where translation occurs; makes proteins |
| AMINO ACIDS | the building block of a protein |
| PROTEINS | made up of amino acids, provides structure, aids in transport, defense and growth and repair |
| DEOXYRIBOSE | sugar found in DNA |
| RIBOSE | sugar found in RNA |
| mRNA | a strand of RNA that holds a copy of the code on the DNA |
