Protein synthesis Flashcards
Whats the first site of protein synthesis
The Nucleus
What happens in first site of protein synthesis
A molecule of messenger RNA, coding for a protein is created from DNA template
What happens in the rRNA stage of protein synthesis
rRNA is transcribed in nucleolus, it folds up into sub-units to make ribosomes
What happens in Rough ER stage of protein synthesis
mRNA is translated to proteins, these then transported by flattened sacs of cisternae
What happens in Smooth ER of protein synthesis
Involved in transport of proteins, important role in storage and production of carbs, lipids and other molecules.
What happens in the membrane of the ER for PS
Continually buds of to form vesicles, These r packages of proteins and other molecules formed on the ER for transport to golgi apparatus
What happens in golgi apparatus stage of PS
Modifies molecules and packages them for specific destinations
