Cells-Mutation Pt.3 Flashcards
How Proteins are Produced
1
The nucleus receives a chemical signal to make a specific protein
2
The DNA message for a specific protein is copied into a small molecule called ribonucleic acid (RNA)
3
RNA leaves through a nuclear pore
4
The RNA message is delivered to the ribosome which reads the RNA and then makes the protein
5
The manufactured protein enters the endoplasmic reticulum
6
A vesicle forms off the end of the endoplasmic reticulum and carries the protein to the Golgi body
7
The Golgi body repackages the protein for transport out of the cell
8
A vesicle forms off the end of the Golgi body to carry the protein to the cell membrane
9
The vesicle attaches to the cell membrane, and its protein contents are released out of the cell
