Genes are segments of
DNA
that contain instructions for making specific
proteins
or determining certain traits.
Chromosomes
are thread-like structures made up of
DNA
and proteins found inside the nucleus.
The
nucleus
is the control center of the cell, containing genetic material (
DNA
) that determines an organism's characteristics.
DNA
is the genetic material found inside cells, consisting of long chains of
nucleotides.
The sequence of
bases
on one strand determines the sequence of
amino acids
in a protein.
Nucleotides are molecules made up of three components -
nitrogenous base
(Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine),
sugar deoxyribose
, phosphate group
Cell membrane
regulates what enters and exits the cell.
Cytoplasm contains various substances such as
enzymes
,
ribosomes
, and other molecules necessary for cellular processes.
Cell membrane: A
thin layer
surrounding the cytoplasm that regulates what enters and
exits
the cell.
Cytoplasm: The fluid substance within a cell where
chemical reactions
occur.
Mitochondria
produce energy through cellular
respiration.
Nucleotides
are molecules composed of three parts -
nitrogenous
base
,
sugar
,
phosphate
group
Ribosome
: Small structures responsible for
protein synthesis.
Protein
synthesis
involves
transcription
to make
mRNA
from
DNA
, followed by
translation
to create a
polypeptide
chain
using
tRNAs
as adaptors.
Adenine
(
A)
,
Thymine
(
T
),
Cytosine
(
C
),
Guanine
(
G)
Ribosome
is where
protein synthesis
occurs.
Cytoplasm
contains
enzymes
responsible for
chemical reactions
within
the cell.
Ribose
is a type of sugar found in
RNA
Ribosomes
synthesize
proteins
using information from
DNA.
Ribosome
: The site where proteins are
synthesized
within the cell.
Mitochondria
produce energy through
respiration.
Lysosomes
contain
digestive
enzymes
to break down
waste
materials within the cell.
Mitochondrion
: An
organelle
responsible for producing energy through
cellular respiration.
Ribosome
: Small structures found inside cells responsible for
synthesizing proteins.
Transcription
occurs when
RNA
polymerase reads the
DNA
template strand and creates a
complementary
mRNA
molecule with
uracil
instead of
thymine.
Mitochondria
produce energy through
aerobic
respiration.
Lysosome
breaks down
waste materials
inside cells.
Mitochondria
: Organelles involved in energy production through
respiration.
Translation takes place at
ribosomes
where
transfer RNA
brings
amino
acids
to the growing peptide chain based on their anticodon sequences.
Ribosome
is responsible for
protein synthesis.
Chloroplast
: Organelle present only in plant cells that is responsible for
photosynthesis.
Vacuole stores
water
,
nutrients
, and wastes.
DNA is made up of nucleotide monomers joined together by covalent bonds to form polynucleotide chains.
Vacuole: A large organelle found only in plant cells that stores water, nutrients, and waste products.
Chloroplast: Organelles present in plants that contain
chlorophyll
and carry out
photosynthesis.
Proteins are large biological molecules with diverse structures and functions.
Mitochondria produce
ATP
through
aerobic
respiration.
The
endoplasmic
reticulum is involved in protein production and
lipid
metabolism.
Lysosome: Membranous sac containing digestive enzymes used to break down unwanted materials inside the cell.
DNA stands for
deoxyribonucleic acid
