Questions and Answers

What is the role of RNA in the cell?

  • Carrier of genetic information
  • To package DNA inside the nucleus
  • To interact with proteins
  • To make new molecules in the cell (correct)
  • What is the function of proteins in the cell?

  • To assemble genetic material
  • To make new molecules in the cell (correct)
  • To carry genetic information
  • To package DNA inside the nucleus
  • What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

  • DNA is present in the mitochondria, while RNA is not
  • RNA is the carrier of genetic information, while DNA plays a role in making new molecules
  • RNA uses the information contained within the DNA to make new molecules in the cell, while DNA is the carrier of genetic information (correct)
  • DNA is a polymer of nucleotide subunits, while RNA is not
  • Study Notes

    RNA in the Cell

    • Acts as a messenger between DNA and the ribosome, carrying genetic information from DNA to the ribosome to synthesize proteins
    • Involved in protein synthesis, catalysis, and the transmission of genetic information
    • Has a shorter lifespan and is more unstable than DNA due to its single-stranded structure and presence of ribose sugar

    Function of Proteins in the Cell

    • Perform a wide range of functions, including catalysis, transport, regulation, and structural roles
    • Involved in nearly all cellular processes, including metabolism, signaling, and cell division
    • Provide structure, support, and movement to cells, as well as regulate various cellular activities

    DNA vs. RNA

    • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double-stranded, stable molecule that stores genetic information, while RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a single-stranded, unstable molecule that carries genetic information
    • DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, whereas RNA contains the sugar ribose
    • DNA is responsible for storing genetic information, while RNA is involved in transmitting and translating that information into proteins
