Description
Express yourself through your genes! See if you can generate and collect three types of protein, then move on to explore the factors that affect protein synthesis in a cell.
Sample Learning Goals
- Explain the main sequence of events that occur within a cell that leads to protein synthesis.
- Predict how changing the concentrations and interactions of biomolecules affects protein production.
- Explain how protein production in a single cell relates to the quantity produced by a collection of cells.
