Question

protein synthesis worksheet place the correct term into the illustrations boxes terms to use amino acid codon dna mrna nuclear membrane protein ribosome trna transport to cytoplasm transcription translation

Explanation:

Protein synthesis involves two main processes: transcription and translation. Transcription occurs in the nucleus where DNA is used as a template to make mRNA. The mRNA then travels through the nuclear membrane to the cytoplasm (transport to cytoplasm). In the cytoplasm, translation takes place at ribosomes. tRNA molecules with anti - codons bring amino acids to the ribosome. The codons on the mRNA pair with the anti - codons on tRNA, and the amino acids are linked together to form a protein.

Answer:

From top to bottom, left to right in the boxes (assuming the general flow of the diagram):

• Above the DNA in the nucleus box: Nuclear membrane
• Next to the arrow from DNA to mRNA: Transcription
• In the box for the process in the cytoplasm near the mRNA: Transport to cytoplasm
• In the large structure in the cytoplasm where the tRNA and mRNA interact: Ribosome
• In the small structure with the anti - codon: tRNA
• In the box for the molecule being formed from the amino acids: Protein
• In the box for the individual units being added to form the protein: Amino Acid
• In the box for the sequence on the mRNA: Codon
