Question

“Synthesis of one protein cannot take place without the presence of another protein.” Is this statement true or false and why?

Select one of the options below as your answer:



A.
This statement is false because only DNA and RNA can carry out protein synthesis, which involves transcription and translation.




B.
This statement is false because protein synthesis can take place directly with the help of amino acids.




C.
This statement is true because every step in protein synthesis requires enzymes, which are nothing but proteins.

Answer 1

without pre-existing ribosomes (protein) you can't make new ones.so option c is right.

Answer 2

This is true because in order for translation (protein synthesis) to occur, it needs many enzymes (proteins). Each amino acid that is added to a protein involves a specific enzyme for the amino acid added. Thats a lot of protein needed just to make a protein. C is the correct answer
