Candy Analogy ? Protein Synthesis

Using the protein synthesis steps below (out of order), match the steps of a candy factory to the steps of protein synthesis. Rewrite the step in the table.

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

CANDY FACTORY

Boss gives recipe to messenger

Messenger leaves office through door and goes to factory floor and to workstation.

Workers assemble ingredients at workstation.

Ingredients are combined according to recipe.

Candy assembly finished. Workers eat some and the rest is wrapped for shipment.

Protein Synthesis steps out of order -

tRNA then brings in the appropriate amino acids. Completed protein either used by cell or packaged and

exported. mRNA exits through protein pore to cytoplasm/ribosome. Polypeptide chain elongates according to response to mRNA

codons. mRNA transcribed from DNA.
