Role of RNA
Transfer RNA (tRNA) Transfers appropriate amino acids to the ribosome for building the protein Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) Helps form the ribosomes where proteins are p p built Messenger RNA (mRNA) Carries the instructions for building a protein from the nucleus to the ribosome
Protein Synthesis
Nucleus (site of transcription) DNA Cytoplasm (site of translation) mRNA specifying one polypeptide is made on DNA template
Amino acids mRNA leaves nucleus and attaches to ribosome, and translation begins Nuclear pore Nuclear membrane Growing polypeptide chain Synthetase enzyme
mRNA
Met Gly Ser Phe Released tRNA reenters the cytoplasmic pool, ready to be recharged with a new amino acid Peptide bond
As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, a new amino acid is added to the growing protein chain Ala
Incoming tRNA recognizes a complementary mRNA codon calling for its amino acid by binding via its anticodon to the codon
Codon Direction of ribosome advance; ribosome moves the mRNA strand along sequentially as each codon is read

Body Tissues
Tissues Groups of cells with similar structure and function Four primary types Epithelial tissue (epithelium) p ( p ) Connective tissue Muscle tissue Nervous tissue
Epithelial Tissues
Locations Body coverings Body linings Glandular tissue Functions F ti Protection Absorption Filtration Secretion
Epithelium Characteristics
Cells fit closely together and often form sheets The apical surface is the free surface of the tissue The lower surface of the epithelium rests on a basement membrane ( pp y) Avascular (no blood supply) Regenerate easily if well nourished

Glandular Epithelium
Two major gland types Endocrine gland Ductless since secretions diffuse into blood vessels All secretions are hormones Exocrine gland Secretions empty through ducts to the epithelial surface Include sweat and oil glands
