Chapter 4 Quiz Flashcards
First Step in protein synthesis
mRNA is copied from DNA strand and leaves nucleus
Second Step in protein synthesis
Ribosome attaches to mRNA, signal peptide is created
Third Step in protein synthesis
signal recognition particles bind to peptide, stops protein synthesis temporarily.
Fourth Step in protein synthesis
recognition particles bind to receptor, opening a channel in ER allowing recognition particles to leave
Fifth Step in protein synthesis
Protein synthesis resumes, growing polypeptide is fed into ER
Sixth Step in protein synthesis
Enzyme removes the signal peptide from the polypeptide
Seventh Step in protein synthesis
Ribosomal subunits and mRNA leave while polypeptide stays in ER where it turns into protein
Functions of Microtubules: Centrosomes
Act as a major microtubule organizing center for the cell
Functions of Microtubules: Centrioles
Involved in assembly/disassembly of microtubules, especially during cell division
Functions of Microtubules: Cilia
Beat in sweeping motion to transport particles in single direction or transport to an organism
Functions of Microtubules: Flagella
Beat in a whiplike motion to propel organism along
Functions of Microtubules: Basal Bodies
Direct movement and organization within cilia and flagella
