Imagine protein X, destined to span theplasma membrane. Assume that the mRNA carrying the geneticmessage for protein X has already been translated by ribosomesin a cell culture. If you fractionate the cells (see Figure 6.4), inwhich fraction would you find protein X? Explain by describingits transit through the cell.

Ribosomes in the cytoplasm (cytosol) capture mRNA that can be translated into an enzyme (in this case a protease) to the lysosome. a) Describe what happens from the time the enzyme (protease) begins to form in the cytoplasm until it end up in the lysosome and explain how the enzyme is transported to the lysosome, Explain in terms of the clathrin and thethering proteins
Ribosomes in the cytoplasm capture mRNA that can be translated into an enzyme for the lysosome. a) Explain what happens from the time the enzyme begins to form in the cytoplasm until it ends up in the lysosome and also explains how the enzyme is transported to the lysosome?
Since prokaryotes don't have microtubules, how does intracellular movement occur? For an example, how do proteins move to their designaed area within a prokaryote? Also, since they do not have a golgi apparatus, how are proteins processed and distrubuted thorughout the cell? Is the DNA different in prokaryotes that give it different instructions than what you would see in eukaryotes? Please help me understand this a bit more. Thank you. I'm not sure why Bartlby is saying my question looks like a graded assignment question. I guess I sound too professional lol

Melanosomes are specialized lysosomes that storepigments for eventual release by exocytosis. Various cellssuch as skin and hair cells then take up the pigment, whichaccounts for their characteristic pigmentation. Mousemutants that have defective melanosomes often have paleor unusual coat colors. One such light-colored mouse, theMocha mouse (Figure Q13–3), has a defect in the gene forone of the subunits of the adaptor protein complex AP3,which is associated with coated vesicles budding from thetrans Golgi network. How might the loss of AP3 cause adefect in melanosomes?
