Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 4ILQ
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/ribosome) to learn about ribosomes. The ribosome binds to the mRNA molecule to start translation of its code into a protein. What happens to the small and large ribosomal subunits at the end of translation?

Trace the path of a protein synthesized on a ribosome attached to the
rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER) as the protein travels to the
exterior of the cell. Name all the subcellular structures that the protein
passes through. In answering this question, assume that the protein is
already produced/synthesized (i.e. don't describe translation).
The ribosome in the diagram is in the process of synthesizing a protein using directions transcribed from the DNA. Use the
labels to identify each of the structures involved in translation and protein synthesis.

What is the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide? (Use Figure 13-5 to help answer this question.) Figure 13-5 The genetic code The genetic code specifies all possible combinations of the three bases that compose codons in mRNA. Of the 64 possible codons, 61 specify amino acids (see Figure 3-17 for an explanation of abbreviations). The codon AUG specifies the amino acid methionine and also signals the ribosome to initiate translation (start). Three codonsUAA, UGA, and UAGdo not specify amino acids; they terminate polypeptide synthesis (stop).arrow_forward

- Describe how ribosomes contribute to the formation of a proteinarrow_forwardPut the following events involved with protein synthesis in order. Move first event to the top of the list and finishe with the last event. The anticodon of the second tRNA binds at the A site; peptidyl transferase catalyzes a reaction to join the two amino acids together. The stop codon is reached on the mRNA; no tRNA binds, the ribosomes and polypeptide are released. Ribonucleotides are added by RNA polymerase creating a single strand of mRNA. ⠀ The DNA double helix is unwound beginning at the promoter sequence. A 5' cap and 3' poly A tail are added to the mRNA The polypeptide undergoes folding and further modifications, if needed. The ribosome shifts one codon down, opening up its A site. The next tRNA binds. The larger ribosomal unit clamps down on the tRNA carrying MET. The mRNA leaves the nucleus. The 5' cap binds to the small ribosomal unit, leading to the exposure of the start codon; the first tRNA carrying MET binds. :: #10 #arrow_forwardDescribe the function of a ribosome in protein synthesis.arrow_forward
