Important! --------------------------------------------------- Proteins = folded amino acid chains
the job of a protein is determined by the order of its amino acids
Nuclear membrane nucleus Ribosome mRNA DNA tRNA cytoplasm
Free floating nucleotides in nucleus Nuclear membrane Free floating nucleotides in nucleus
A triplet of mRNA bases
nucleus cytoplasm
The discarded tRNA picks upa new amino acid that comes either from your diet or that was built in your body…thus the tRNAs are recycled!
