UNIT 7 HONORS BIOLOGYPROTEIN SYNTHESIS

THURSDAY 2/7

▸ Review the characteristics of a protein with your group.

▸ Protein Synthesis Overview

LEARNING TARGET

▸ Student can describe how a protein is made.

PROTEIN REVIEW

▸ Elements: CHON

▸ Monomer: Amino Acid

▸ Made by ribosomes using DNA

CENTRAL DOGMA

DNA —> RNA —> PROTEIN

RNA BASICS

▸ Stands for “ribonucleic acid”

▸ 3 Types

▸ mRNA = messenger RNA

▸ rRNA = ribosomal RNA

▸ tRNA = transport RNA

DIFFERENCES OF DNA/RNA▸ DIFFERENCES

▸ DNA

▸ 2 strands in a double helix

▸ G, C, T, A bases

▸ Deoxyribose sugar

▸ RNA

▸ 1 strand

▸ G, C, U, A bases (uricil replaces thymine)

▸ Ribose sugar

SIMILARITIES OF DNA/RNA▸ Monomer of both is a nucleotide

▸ Sugar and phosphate backbone

▸ Bases inside of ladder
