To match the image with the correct vocabulary term, consider the following descriptions:
-
Ribosome: Ribosomes are the cellular structures where protein synthesis occurs. They can be depicted as small, round organelles either free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells.
-
Amino Acids: These are the building blocks of proteins. They are usually represented as small molecules with an amino group, a carboxylic acid group, and a distinctive side chain (R group). They can also be depicted in chains, forming polypeptides.
-
DNA: Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information. It is often illustrated as a double helix or as a series of base pairs (A, T, C, and G) connected by sugar and phosphate backbones.
