Term
RNA
Definition
ribonucleic acid; single strand monomer made of nucleotides with a ribose sugar; uses UracilĀ 
Term
DNA
Definition
deoxyribonucleic acid; made of nucleotides with deoxyribose sugar; found in the nucleus of eukaryote cells; uses thymine
Term
Translation
Definition
process of making proteins; occurs in ribosomes
Term
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
Definition
bring amino acids to ribosomes; used during translation to make proteins
Term
messenger RNA (mRNA)
Definition
made during transcription; carries DNA from the nucleus to the ribosomes; tells how to make proteins
Term
Protein Synthesis
Definition
process of making proteins in the ribosomes; made of amino acids
Term
ribosome RNA (rRNA)
Definition
site of protein synthesis; tRNA bring amino acids here to make proteins
Term
