Rank the basic steps of protein synthesis

1. DNA unwinds exposing a gene. 2. The gene undergoes transcription, forming messenger RNA. 3. mRNA transfers the information from the nucleus to ribosomes. 4. The ribosomes "read" the messenger RNA 5. RNA molecule conveys particular amino acid to the ribosome. 6. At the ribosome, the amino acid attaches to the peptide chain.

Rank the correct order for the steps of urea production and removal

1. Deamination results in the production of ammonia 2. liver converts ammonia to urea 3. urea is released into the blood 4. kidneys pick up urea and eliminate it in the urine

Rank in the order the steps involved in the digestion of protein beginning in the stomach.

1. Denaturation by stomach acid and partial digestion by pepsin. 2. The pancreas secretes protein-splitting enzymes. 3. Final digestion occurs within absorptive cells. 4. Amino acids enter the portal vein and travel to the liver. 5. Rectum: Very little dietary protein is excreted in feces.

Put the process of protein digestion in the correct order, from start to finish.

1. Digested proteins move from the stomach into the small intestine. 2. Further digestion occurs as the pancreas secretes protein-splitting enzymes, including trypsin. 3. Final digestion occurs within the absorptive cells. 4. Amino acids enter the portal vein and travel to the liver.
