New cards

DNA

  • found in a membrane (nucleus) in eukaryotic cells/found in cytoplasm in region called nucleoid in prokaryotic cells

  • contains instructions to make everything the cell produces, including more cells

2
New cards

Ribosomes

  • produce proteins from instructions in DNA

3
New cards

How do ribosomes produce proteins?

  • DNA instructions copied into mRNA

  • Ribosome “reads” instructions in mRNA to build proteins out of amino acids

4
New cards

Do cells that produce lots of proteins have little or a lot of ribosomes?

A lot of ribosomes

5

Examples or proteins in cells

  • channels

  • enzymes

  • hormones
