    extra hydrogen bonds on top of each other‚ making extra-tough microfibrils that cannot be digested by most organisms. Proteins accomplish many different tasks‚ including structural support‚ storage‚ transport‚ movement‚ and defense against foreign substances. One noteworthy type of protein‚ called an enzyme‚ acts as a catalyst‚ speeding up chemical reactions in the cell. All proteins are composed of the same set of 20 amino acids‚ and each amino acid differs from the other only by the "R group" attached

     NOTES   UNIT 2 NOTES DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) DNA Functions • Stores genetic information and copies itself (replication) to pass on the information • Contains genes (instructions to make proteins) • Instructs cell’s activities DNA Structure • DNA is a polymer of nucleotides • Chromosomes (DNA strand + associated proteins ie. Histones wrap DNA around like a spool = condensed chromatin) ↓ genes (sections of a chromosome that codes for a protein) ↓ nucleotides (3 parts: phosphate

    The Role of DNA in Protein Synthesis DNA is found in the cells nucleus. It is part of the chromosome of the cell. DNA is the molecule that controls the making of protein. Protein is used for the growth of cells and organisms and also for the repair of cells. Protein is also used as an enzyme to speed up reactions in the body. Because of this DNA is able to control the whole organism. With out DNA and its ability to make protein the cells and eventually the whole organism would die
