Question 7 • WI-Grade 8 Life Science A

Which statements describe proteins? Select three options.

Answer
A
Proteins are created from the code in DNA.
B
Proteins are synthesized in the nucleus of a cell.
C
DNA and RNA are proteins.
D
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
E
Proteins affect the structures and functions of living things.
F
The shape and the function of a protein are not related.

Explanation

DNA contains instructions that cells use to make proteins, so proteins are created from the code in DNA. Proteins are built from amino acids, and they contribute to the structures and functions of living things. Proteins are generally synthesized at ribosomes, not in the nucleus; DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, not proteins, and a protein’s shape is related to its function.
