1

RNA

stands for ribonucleic acid, single stranded molecule that helps deliver the code to build proteins

2

transcription

occurs in the nucleus; DNA is rewritten into mRNA

3

translation

occurs in the ribosome; amino acids are connect to make a protein

4

ribosome

site where translation occurs; makes proteins

5

amino acids

the buidling block of a protein

6

proteins

made up of amino acids, provides structure, aids in transport, defense and growth and repair

7

deoxyribose

sugar found in DNA

8

ribose

sugar found in RNA

9

mRNA

a strand of RNA that holds a copy of the code on the DNA

10

codon

set of three nucleotides on an mRNA, codes for an amino acid

11

RNA polymerase

enzyme that builds mRNA

12

tRNA

transfer RNA, brings amino acids to the growing protein

13

rRNA

ribosomal RNA, what the ribosome is made out of
