Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis

What is in that double helix? Explain intricate concepts with a variety of creative activities in a lesson that incorporates multiple steps to cover DNA structure, nucleic acids, and proteins. Pupils explore the history of DNA structure,...

Although it is a grainy scan of a worksheet, the content is applicable to your DNA unit. Biology buffs follow the synthesis of an oxytocin protein. They write out an RNA sequence transcribed from a piece of DNA, they list the amino acids...

A lively presentation presents general facts and history of nucleic acids in a note-taking format. Every slide contains colorful photos or graphics to illuminate and engage. Biology aces learn about the function and structure of these...

This is a polished presentation of the nucleic acids. It is unique in that it examines both the genetic material and the energy molecules. Usually these are addressed separately even though they are both nucleic acids. This approach is...

A five-star arrangement of slides awaits your biology class. It progressively steps viewers through the process of protein synthesis within the eukaryotic cell. Colorful representations of the DNA molecule, important enzymes, introns,...

No animations, but plenty of colorful and explanatory diagrams are included in this presentation that teaches the translation portion of protein synthesis to biology buffs. They discover the roles of both mRNA and tRNA in carrying...

Can your class visualize how proteins synthesize? Take a tour of the all-important process of protein synthesis to discover why our bodies depend on it. A video from an animated biology playlist covers transcription and translation, as...

Your body determines which proteins are made based on the code in your DNA. A Fuse School video explains how protein synthesis works. It starts with DNA, moves through transcription, RNA, mRNA, completes translation, tRNA, and finally...

Only about two percent of DNA codes for protein. The video walks through the process of protein synthesis. It breaks down both transcription and translation into multiple steps. 

Explore the roles of RNA with this PowerPoint presentation. Viewers will learn about messenger RNA, transfer RNA, and ribosomal RNA. You will appreciate the time and thought put into preparing this concise presentation as you use it to...
