latest 100% Assignment VII.5 RNA and Protein Synthesis GIZMO.✔✔

Document Content and Description Below

1. Suppose you want to design and build a house. How would you communicate your design plans with the construction crew that would work on the house? Draw a picture of your ideas and talk them throu... gh it. 2. Cells build large, complicated molecules, such as proteins. What do you think cells use as their “design plans” for proteins? Former proteins and “blueprints” of proteins. Gizmo Warm-up Just as a construction crew uses blueprints to build a house, a cell uses DNA as plans for building proteins. In addition to DNA, another nucleic acid, called RNA, is involved in making proteins. In the RNA and Protein Synthesis Gizmo™, you will use both DNA and RNA to construct a protein out of amino acids. 1. DNA is composed of the bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). RNA is composed of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil (U). Look at the SIMULATION pane. Is the shown molecule DNA or RNA? How do you know? DNA because there is no U 2. RNA polymerase is a type of enzyme. Enzymes help chemical reactions occur quickly. Click the Release enzyme button and describe what happens. The molecules split [Show More]
