Protein Synthesis Study Guide

C-Level

1. CTT  CAT  CTG  ACA
2. ACG  AUA  AGU  CCC
3. 4 - (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine)
4. Double Helix
5. Nucleus
6. C. Proteins
7. DNA - 2 strands, RNA - 1 strand
8. met - gly - trp - ser - stop

B&A Level

1. RNA - ribose, uracil; DNA - deoxyribose, thymine
2. 3
3. mRNA
4. mRNA copies one side of the DNA to get the recipe to make the protein
5. the mRNA is translated one codon at a time into an amino acid chain
6. a change in DNA
7. mutations can cause a change in the type of protein produced
8. UCA - serine; UCG - also serine. This mutation resulted in the same amino acid created.
9. D
10. nucleus
11. ribosome
12. amino acids
13. (see notes)
14. mRNA is copying one side of the DNA in the nucleus.
15. mRNA leaves nucleus and is translated into amino acids in the ribosome.

Ecology Study Guide Answers

1. Fruit Bat and Fruit Tree (bat gets food, fruit tree gets its seeds dispersed); Buffalo and Birds (Birds do not need to hunt for food, buffalo is freed of insects); Sea Anemone and Clownfish (Sea Anemone uses Clownfish as a bait; Clownfish gets protection)
2. Human and Eyelash Mite (Eyelash mites get food, Humans do not get hurt and do not benefit); Whale and Barnacles (Barnacles get access to more food; whale gets nothing but is not harmed); Sea Cucumber and Pearlfish (Pearlfish gets shelter; Sea Cucmber gets nothing but is not harmed)
3. Parasitism - One animal is harmed the other benefits; In predator and prey, one animal DIES as food for the predator
4. Primary - begins on rock (lichens make soil from the rock); Secondary - starts on rock
5. Exponential Growth 
6. humans have been using "ancient" sun. Fossil fuels are used to create more energy -> more food -> more growth.
7. Carbon Cycle
8. Bacteria
9. 
10. coal, gas, oil,
