Question

The image represents protein synthesisImagine the protein being produced is to be exported as an enzymeWhich organettes in this process from start to finish?

Answer 1

The organelles involved are:

1. Nucleus
2. Ribosomes
3. Golgi complex

Step-by-step explanation:

• Protein synthesis begins in the nucleus when the DNA is transcribed into mRNA.
• The mRNA then travels to the cytoplasm and attaches to the ribosomes of the rough endopalsmic reticulum.
• The process of translation i.e. the decoding of the mRNA codons into amino acid sequence takes place in the ribosomes.
• When a complete polypeptide or enzyme has been formed, the protein is sent to the Golgi complex that packages it into transport vesicles. These vesicles can then be transported to locations in or outside the cell.
