  1. PrBL #7: Protein Synthesis By: Evelyn Sanchez, Monica Magana, Janet Miranda,

  2. Messenger brings to ribosomes DNA Transcription RNA Translation Protein Synthesis Protein Copies Transfers amino acids Central Dogma

  3. Proteins are important because they are complex macromolecules that carry out many functions in the body including: • Growth and Repair • Signaling from one cell to another • Defense against invaders • Accelerating chemical reactions Proteins

  4. Proteins are the cell's 'workers'. You have many thousands of different proteins in your body. Some are used as building blocks: your hair and nails contain the protein keratin. Other kinds of proteins carry oxygen around your body, fighting infections and detecting the light entering your eyes. A vital group of proteins - enzymes - controls the rate of the chemical reactions in your body that make all the other molecules you need. What They Do
