Protein synthesis is compared to baking a cake in the textbook, but the process can also be compared to building a doghouse. Kat
ie wanted to build a doghouse, so she went to the library to find a book on how to do it. The book she found was in the reference section, so she had to make a copy of the pages, which she then took to her workbench. She was going to make the doghouse out of wood and nails. She used a hammer to put the nails into their correct positions in the wood to make the doghouse. In this story, the wood and nails are analogous to ________.
The process of protein synthesis takes place in an organelle called ribosomes. The ribosome reads the information coded in the mRNA in the form of triplets of nitrogenous bases also known as "codons". The codons code for specific amino acids which are assembled or joined via peptide bonds in the ribosomes.
In the question, Katie wanted to make doghouse of the wood and nails in which if doghouse represents the protein, the nails and wood will represent the basic unit or monomer of a protein called amino acids which are put together by a hammer.
Photosynthesis is good for us and the environment because it rids the excess carbon dioxide and reuses it as energy while producing oxygen so we can breathe!
