Guys I'm completely lost on this biology homework help assignment about protein synthesis. Can someone please explain transcription and translation like I'm 5? I keep mixing up the steps and my test is next week! What's the difference between DNA and RNA again? And what exactly happens in the ribosome? My brain is officially fried 🧠💥

I struggled with this too! For help with biology homework on protein synthesis, I found it helpful to think of it as a cooking process:
1. Transcription: DNA is like your cookbook (stored safely in the library/nucleus). RNA polymerase makes a photocopy (mRNA) of just the recipe you need.
2. Translation: The photocopy (mRNA) leaves the library (nucleus) and goes to the kitchen (ribosome). In the kitchen, the chef (ribosome) reads the recipe and grocery shoppers (tRNA) bring in specific ingredients (amino acids) in the order specified. The chef links all ingredients together into your final dish (protein).
Does that help at all?
