Name: _______________________________ Protein Synthesis Children’s Book Due Friday, April 27 Protein synthesis is one of the most important processes in an organism. As you’ve learned, it creates proteins needed for an organism to function. It is also a multi-step process that some students find difficult to remember. You, however, are going to have no problem mastering it! To simplify the process of protein synthesis, you will create a children’s book (comic book or graphic novel style is ok too) which explains protein synthesis in a way simple enough for a child to understand. Be sure to include lots of pictures, as any good children’s book does. This assignment is worth 60 points and will go in the Unit Exams/Projects category of your grade. If you get an A on this project I will exempt you from the protein synthesis section of the Unit 8 Exam. There will be a classwide competition for most creative book and most clear explanation of the process. THIS SHEET MUST BE TURNED IN WITH YOUR COMPLETED BOOK FOR CREDIT! You must include: Explanation of what a protein is (5 pts) _____ The Central Dogma of Biology (5 pts) _____ Explanation of what RNA and DNA are. (5 pts) ____ Transcription—what it is (10 pts) ____ Where it happens mRNA—what it is and how it’s made. This will need to include an explanation of what bases and their complementary pairs are and the substitution of U for T in RNA. RNA Polymerase Bases Translation—what it is (10 pts) ____ o Where it happens o tRNA—what it is and what it does. o What a codon is. o How an amino acid chain is made and what it is. What happens to the protein once it is made. (5 pts) ____ Each explanation includes pictures and minimal words and explanation is clear. (10 pts) _____ Creativity and work quality (10 pts) ____ Classroom participation (10 pts) ____ Total: _______/60 Exempt / Not Exempt from protein synthesis section of exam
