Q

Translation

1. Initiation

A

Ribosome binds with mRNA; start codon; first tRNA molecules Are brought in

16
Q

Translation

2. Elongation

A

Peptide bond is formed between amino acids; polypeptides made

17
Q

Translation

3.translocation

A

Ribosome releases tRNA and moves along mRNA to the next codon; this elongates the polypeptide further

18
Q

Translation

4. Termination

A

Stop codon reached; polypeptide is released; ribosome picks up new mRNA strand

19
Q

Exocytosis

A

Proteins produced in bound ribosomes (rough ER) are for export out of cell
