DNA Structure and Function Concepts

What is the main function of DNA in the cell

• To synthesize proteins directly.
• DNA - RNA - PROTEIN

  carries code to make protein

• To provide energy for cellular processes.
• To regulate cell division and growth.

If a DNA Molecule has a left side code of: G,A,C,A,T,G

the right side would read?

• C,A,G,T,A,G
• G,C,T,A,C,G
• A,T,C,A,G,T
• C,T,G,T,A,C

what type of RNA molecule is

C,U,G,U,A,C

• DNA molecule
• Protein structure
• Enzyme catalyst
• RNA molecule

Name the difference between RNA and DNA molecule

• RNA is double-stranded and contains thymine; DNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.
• RNA contains ribose sugar; DNA contains deoxyribose sugar but both are single-stranded.
• RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil; DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine.
• RNA is double-stranded and contains thymine; DNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

Name the parts of a nucleotide

• Amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol
• Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids
• Enzymes, coenzymes, substrates
• Phosphate group, five-carbon sugar, nitrogenous base

What is the name of the sugar in DNA?

• fructose
• glucose
• ribose
• deoxyribose

what is the name of the sugar In RNA

• sucrose
• fructose
• glucose
• ribose

what is the functional difference between DNA and RNA

• DNA is only found in the nucleus; RNA is found in the cytoplasm.
• DNA is single-stranded; RNA is double-stranded.
• RNA stores genetic information; DNA is involved in protein synthesis.
• DNA creates RNA while RNA creates PROTEIN

What is the site of protein in Synthesis

• Mitochondria
• Nucleus
• Golgi apparatus
• Ribosomes

Where are amino acids found?

• Amino acids are only found in Ribosomes.

• Amino acids are only found in dairy products.
• Amino acids are exclusively produced by plants.
• Amino acids can only be found in processed foods.
