How many phosphates?
This molecule is energy currency for the cell.
ATP
The place where transcription occurs
Nucleus
The place where translation occurs
cytoplasm
This is an organism that can make its own food by simply sitting out in the sunshine.
autotroph
the DNA letter C would translate to this when mRNA is copied
G
When ATP is used, it becomes this.
ADP
The 2 main molecules involved in transcription
DNA and RNA
The organelle responsible for making the protein in translation
ribosome
This type of organism requires consumption of another organism in order to get its food.
heterotroph
the DNA letter T would translate to this when mRNA is copied
A
What does ATP lose to become ADP?
a phosphate
the number of strands for RNA
1
The molecule that feeds through the ribosome so the code can be read
mRNA
When something is broken down to release energy
Catobolism
This 3-letter code on mRNA codes for an amino acid
codon
The place where ADP goes to get "re-charged".
Mitochondria
The process of transcription
DNA is copied in a section to make a strand of RNA
mRNA gives the code to the ribosome, and the ribosome assembles amino acids to make a protein chain
When something is assembled to store energy
Anabolism
The DNA code that would create the mRNA code AUG UUA
TAC AAT
The full name of ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
What happens to RNA after it is copied.
It leaves the nucleus
The RNA that brings the amino acid
tRNA
The sum of all the processes that allow an organism to eat and grow
Metabolism
The DNA code AAT CAG would create what 2 amino acids?
UUA GUC
Leucine-Valine
