Presentation Transcript

  1. The Structure & Function of DNA, RNA, and protein. Protein Synthesis

  2. Big Picture of Protein Synthesis • Protein synthesis = making a protein

  3. Function of DNA • Deoxyribonucleic Acid • Sequence of molecules that are the instructions for making proteins (which give us our phenotypes!)

  4. Structure of DNA

  5. Shape of DNA • Double helix = 2 coiled strands • Anti-parallel to each other • One strand goes up and one goes down • Bases held together by hydrogen bonds

  6. Function of RNA • Ribonucleic Acid • Copy of DNA which is decoded to make protein

  7. Structure of RNA

  8. Shape of RNA • Single helix = 1 coiled strand

  9. Function of Protein • Help with chemical reactions in body • Gives organisms their phenotypes • Builds muscles • Repairs damaged tissue • Fight off infections in body

  10. Structure of Protein • Chain of amino acids
