| translation | a process in which ribosomes synthesize proteins with the help of mRNA molecules |
| anticodon | a region whose bases complement an mRNA codon, which all tRNA's have |
| where do proteins synthesize? | in cytoplasm |
| stages of protein synthesis | 1. amino acids 2. translation 3. elongation cycle |
| Amino Acid stage of protein synthesis | amino acides and tRNA's float in the cytoplasm and the t's bond with the correct aa's, and cause the trnas to become charged and the aas become part of a new protein on the ribosome |
| Translation stage of protein synthesis | two subunits of ribosomes bond to the start codon, and the ribosome moved along the mrna and adds more aas the the protein |
| Elongation cycle stage of protein synthesis | process of elongation |
| elongation | a cyclic porcess in which ribosomes build proteins one aa at a time |
| What happens after all the stages of protein synthesis? | the protein chain is shifted from the 1st trna to the aa on the second trna, and the whole protein moves from the first trna and bonds to the new amino acid |
