Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the site of translation in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosome

Front

What are two similarities between DNA and RNA?

Back

They both contain the nitrogenous bases cytosine (C) and guanine (G).

Front

What are the building blocks of nucleic acids?

Back

A sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

Front

What do amino acids form when they bond together?

Back

Proteins.

Front

What type of RNA is responsible for copying DNA and bringing it out of the nucleus during transcription?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA).

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the process of copying DNA into RNA called?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA in terms of structure?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.
