Question

Order the steps that occur as a protein is synthesized within a cell and finally excreted for use outside of the cellITEMMove BottonRough ER Golgi BodyCell MembraneNucleusmRNARibosome

Answer 1

Nucleus, mRNA, Rough ER, Ribosome, Golgi Body, Cell Membrane.

This question is kind of tricky since a protein would be within the nucleus AS an mRNA sequence and within the rough ER WITHIN a ribosome.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

Nucleus, mRNA, Rough ER, Ribosome, Golgi Body, Cell Membrane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein synthesis is separated into two steps which are transcription and translation. Transcription happens in the nucleus and it includes the encoding of the mRNA with the genetic information in the DNA. Translation begins when the mRNA transfer from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, the protein assembly takes place inside the ribosomes after which they are transferred to the rough endoplasmic reticulum for adjustments.
