| Term | Definition |
|---|
| what happens in glucogenesis? | amino acids and glycerol can be converted to glucose |
| what does lipid and cholesterol synthesis require? | acetyl CoA |
| what is protein synthesis controlled by? | nuclear genes made of DNA |
| what is the code represented by the base sequence in a gene transcribed into? | a complementary base code on messenger RNA |
| what does alternative splicing of mRNA in the nucleus allow? | one gene to code for multiple proteins |
| what is codon? | a series of 3 nucleotide found in mRNA |
| what is translation? | mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to the cytosol where, with the assistance of transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA, it assembles amino acids into a designated sequence |
| where does translation occur? | in ribosome |
| what is transcription? | the formation of mRNA in the nucleus |
| what does post-translational modification convert? | the newly synthesized protein to its finished form |
| where are proteins modified? | in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or in the Golgi complex |
| what happens to proteins in the Golgi complex? | they are packaged into membrane-bound vesicles that become lysosomes, a storage vesicle, or secretory vesicles |
| what happens after gene activation? | transcription, translation, then protein synthesis |
