Protein synthesis is really important for building and keeping our bodies healthy. Here are the main steps:

1. Transcription:

   • This takes place in an area called the nucleus.
   • DNA is turned into a special type of RNA called messenger RNA (mRNA).

2. Translation:

   • This happens in the ribosome.
   • The ribosome reads the mRNA to help make proteins, using another kind of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA).

These steps are essential for making the proteins our cells need to work well!
