AP Bio Unit 6 Protein Synthesis

What sets different amino acids apart from each other?

• amine group

• carboxyl group

• central carbon atom

• R group

How does the location of the ribosome affect the type of protein product?

• free ribosomes synthesize cytosolic proteins while bound ribosomes synthesize membrane proteins

• free ribosomes synthesize membrane proteins while bound ribosomes synthesize cytosolic proteins

• free ribosomes synthesize proteins for the mitochondria while bound ribosomes synthesize cytosolic proteins.

• free ribosomes synthesize cytosolic proteins while bound ribosomes synthesize proteins for the mitochondria.

Where is the mRNA used for synthesis of proteins made?

• nucleus

• ribosome

• rough ER

• smooth ER

What is the function of the increase in surface area of rough ER?

• More sites for ATP synthesis

• More sites for digestion

• More sites for lipid synthesis

• More sites for protein synthesis

If there is an error in transcription, what could happen as a result?

• The nucleotides that make up the protein will change.

• The protein that is made will not be affected.

• New amino acids will be created to make a new protein.

• The protein that is made may have a different structure or function.

NGSS.HS-LS1-1

This type of RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

• All of the above

During transcription, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for copying the DNA and brining it out of the nucleus.

• tRNA

• mRNA

• rRNA

• dRNA

The main function of tRNA is to...

• carry a message that, when translated, forms proteins

• form a portion of ribosomes

• string together complementary RNA and DNA strands

• bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes

Which occur during protein synthesis?

• 
  replication, translation

• 
  transcription, translation

• 
  replication, transcription, translation

• 
  translation, transcription, replication

Which RNA brings amino acids?

• rRNA

• tRNA

• mRNA
