1.
2.
a. Protein synthesis began in the nucleus.
b. Chromatin is a diffuse mass located in the nucleus where genetic material is found.
c. A gene is a sequence of nucleotides, it is important because they form the template and these templates are used for synthesizing proteins.
3.
a. Transcription is the first step of protein synthesis it uses a sequence of DNA nucleotides to produce a sequence of RNA nucleotide.
b. RNA polymerase bonds to RNA nucleotides together, attaches to the promoter site at the start of the gene.

5.
a.
-Messenger RNA contains information to synthesize proteins.
-Transfer RNA is used to transfer amino acids during the next step.
-Ribosomal RNA makes up part of a ribosome.
b. Transcription takes place in the nuclease
6. Translation takes place in the cytoplasm.
7. –Free ribosomes produce proteins used within the cell. - RER ribosomes produce proteins that are used in the plasma membrane
8. The role of the tRNA molecule is to carry amino acid to the ribosome; also has a complementary code.
9. A Condon is a triplet strand of MRNA; may act as a code for single amino acid; the start code or the stop code.
10. When a covalent bond forms between the two adjacent amino acids to begin formation of polypeptides.
11. –Primary structure is translated at ribosome -Secondary structure folds to form into a three dimensional shape -Tertiary structure when carbohydrate groups are added to the polypeptide at the Golgi -Modified protein one in which enzymes is added.
12.
a. Cellular enzymes are stored in lysosomes
b. Membrane proteins are moved to the plasma membrane
c. Secretory proteins are transported through the plasma membrane
13. – Connecting – membrane proteins connecting cells together in tissues. - Membrane transport is transport of chemical via membrane proteins - Intercellular communication is communicating between cells via hormones and
