3 Differences between
DNA and RNA

Central Dogma-
Protein Synthesis

The ultimate goal is to
produce a protein
(polypeptide).

There are 20 different amino
acids that are held together by
peptide bonds to form the
primary structure of proteins.

Multiple Choice

The monomer for proteins is

• glucose

• amino acids

• fatty acids

• nucleotide
