Steps of protein synthesis (very very very exclusive)

Question 1

Step 1 of protein synthesis

Answer 1

1. Ribosomes are produced in the nucleolus, leave the nucleus through the pores and position at the RER

Question 2

Step 2 of protein synthesis

Answer 2

2. Nuclear pores allow mRNA molecules to leave the nucleus and attach onto the ribosomes on the RER

Question 3

Step 3 of protein synthesis

Answer 3

3. Protein synthesis occurs on the ribosomes, the mRNA molecule has the code for the primary structure of a protein

Question 4

Step 4 of protein synthesis

Answer 4

4. The RER transports the polypeptides(proteins) using the transport vesicles, which merge with the golgi body

Question 5

Step 5 of protein synthesis

Answer 5

5. The polypeptides are modified in the golgi body and converted down to their tertiary structure e.g. enzymes

Question 6

Step 6 of protein synthesis

Answer 6

6. The enzyme are packaged into secretory vesicles and transported to the cell membrane. The secretory vesicles merge with the cell membrane and release the enzymes by exocytosis

Question 7

Step? 7? of? protein? synthesis?

Answer 7

7. …? There’s no step 7
