Aim: How does the nucleus control the activities of the cell? There are two main functions of the nucleus: 1. Contains the codes protein 2. Cell division

Protein synthesis starts from the messages in the nucleus There are 46 Chromosomes in every human cell
Proteins make up 15% of body mass Muscle Cartilage Ligaments Skin Hair Haemoglobin Hormones (insulin) Antibodies enzymes
Proteins are made from…
20 amino acids Alanine Arginine Asparagine Aspartic Acid Cysteine Glutamic Acid Glutamine Glycine Histidine Isoleucine Leucine Lysine Methionine Phenylalanine Proline Serine Threonine Tryptophan Tyrosine ValineAlaninerginine Asparagine Aspartic Acid Cysteine Glutamic Acid Glutamine Glycine Histidine Isoleucine Leucine Lysine Methionine Phenylalanine Proline Serine Threonine Tryptophan Tyrosine Valine Arginine
Proteins are made when…..a special protein zips open a section of the DNA strands in the nucleus Aim: How does DNA direct the synthesis of protein?
Free RNA bases link up with the exposed DNA bases on one strand only, thus forming a strand of messenger RNA
The newly made messenger RNA peels off and moves away to the ribosomes
A transfer RNA picks up an amino acid and brings it to the ribosome
As the ribosome sweeps across the messenger RNA, a chain of amino acids is linked together
As it is being formed, the protein chain begins to fold into the shape needed to function properly. Then the chain which is the protein is released by the ribosome
