• Protein mosaic

• Fluid movement

Active Transport uses energy to move ions across the bilipid membrane

• False

Order of translation (Start-Finish)

• P site

• polypeptide

• E site

• mRNA

• A site

The transcribed from genomic DNA and contains codons for each amino acid.

Also known as anti-codons
