Translation and Proteins
Building blocks of proteins (monomers)
What is Amino Acids?
Synthesis of messenger RNA molecule from a DNA template.
A simple compound whose molecules can join together to form polymers (larger molecules).
What are monomers?
Requires NO energy, Movement of molecules from high to low concentration, Moves with the concentration gradient.
What is Passive transport.
The movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back.
What is the carbon cycle?
Type of RNA that carries instructions from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome
What is MRNA?
Three-nucleotide sequence on messenger RNA that codes for a single amino acid.
What are codons?
Single-stranded nucleic acid that contains the sugar ribose.
What is RNA?
The transport of substances through a cell membrane along a concentration gradient with the aid of Transport proteins.
What is Facilitated Diffusion?
(Adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work.
What is ATP?
Cell structure where proteins are synthesized (made). Site of translation.
What are Ribosomes?
The amount of chromosomes in the Human Genome.
What is 46?
The blueprint for building you.
What is DNA?
Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
A change in the nucleotides sequence of an organism's DNA; mutation also can occur in the DNA or RNA of a virus; the altimate source of genetic diversity.
What is a mutation?
The DNA that makes up Ribosomes.
What is RNA?
Series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells.
What is the cell cycle?
Adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T)
What are the nitrogenous bases in DNA?
Difference in the concentration of a substance from one location to another.
What is the Concentration Gradient?
The two chromosomes that make up a matched pair in a diploid cell. They are of the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern and possess gene for the same characteristics at corrosponding loci. One homologous chromosomeis inherited from the organism's father, and one grom the mother.
What are homologous Chromosomes?
Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced.
The final phase of mitosis. The nuclear envelope starts to form back and cytokinesis begins. Final product are 2 daughter cells.
What is telophase?
The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides
What are the monomers of DNA?
A carrier protein that uses ATP to actively transport sodium ions out of a cell and potassium ions into the cell
What is a Sodium-Potassium Pump?
Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis..
What is crossing over?
