helps in various chemical reactions in the body
enzyme
gives cells and tissues their shape and strength
structural protein
contains sugar ribose, base uracil, single stranded, and short.
RNA
contains
deoxyribose
, thymine, is
double stranded
, and long
DNA
carries instructions from DNA to the ribosome, carries rows of codon which tells the ribosome which amino acid to add to the growing protein chain.
Messenger RNA
construction site where the protein is built by combining with proteins to form ribosomes.
Ribosomal
RNA
connector and brings the necessary amino acids to the ribosome
transfer RNA
copy of DNA’s instructions
RNA
enzymes that unwinds the DNA
helicase
prevents the two single strands from joining each other
binding proteins
enzyme that builds short complementary piece of RNA
primase
enzyme that adds new DNA nucleotides that are complementary to the bases on each exposed strand
DNA polymerase
adenine is paired with?
thymine
cytosine is paired with?
guanine
thymine is paired with?
adenine
guanine is paired with?
cytosine
3’
to
5’
leading
strand
5’ to 3’
lagging
strand
small pieces of lagging strand
okazaki
fragments
contains instructions for making proteins for building and regulating the body
DNA
what main processes are involved in protein synthesis?
transcription
and
translation
DNA message is copied into a molecule called
RNA
transcription
the RNA message is used to assemble amino acids into a chain, forming a protein
translation
ultimate director of cells and it codes for your traits
DNA
has the ability to speed up reactions and build up or break down the items that they act on.
enzymes
unzipping enzyme; breaks through hydrogen bonds holding DNA bases together
Helicase
builder; replicates DNA molecules to build a new strand of DNA
DNA polymerase
initializer; makes the primer so DNA polymerase knows where to start
primase
gluer; helps DNA glue fragments together
Ligase
