Unit 5 - Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis
Unit 5 Overview
06/27/2010 15:32Our last unit of Biology A is about making proteins. Proteins are the "workers" in cells. We will learn about how information stored in a DNA molecule can be re-written (transcribed) into RNA so that proteins can be made (synthesized) in the cytoplasm by ribosomes.
