Protein synthesis- is a process in which polypeptide chains are

formed from coded combinations of single amino acids inside the

cell. The synthesis of new polypeptides requires a coded
sequence, enzymes, and messenger, ribosomal, and transfer
ribonucleic acids (RNAs). Protein synthesis occurs within a cell's
nucleus and ribosomes and is regulated by DNA and RNA.

DNA - is an organic chemical of complex molecular structure

found in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and in many
viruses. DNA codes genetic information for the transmission
of inherited traits. Double-stranded sugar phosphate
(deoxyribose) (Deoxyribonucleic acid)

Amino acid- any of a group of organic molecules that consist of a

primary amino group (―NH2), an acidic carboxyl group
(―COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique
to each amino acid

RNA - a single-stranded sugar phosphate (ribose)

Messenger RNA (mRNA) - brings information from the DNA in the

nucleus to the protein manufacturing area, the cytoplasm.

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) - holds tightly to the mRNA using its

information to assemble the amino acids in the correct order.

Transfer RNA (tRNA) - supplies amino acids to the ribosome to

be assembled as a protein.
