- 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).arrow_forwardRibosome, mitochondria, and golgi bodies are structures in cell whose forms dictate their physical functions. Describe their function in relation to their structure.arrow_forwardDescribe how ribosomes contribute to the formation of a proteinarrow_forward
- The study of protein synthesis often uses a cell-free system where cells are ground with an abrasive to release the cell contents and then filtered to remove the abrasive. These mate- rials are added to the system, generating the indicated results: Materials Added Results Radioactive amino acids Radioactive protein produced Radioactive amino acids No radioactive protein produced and RNase (an RNA- digesting enzyme) What is the best interpretation of these observations?arrow_forwardDescribe the location and function of ribosomes.arrow_forwardGlycophorins are a type of membrane protein found on red blood cells. They allow red blood cells to circulate through the blood vessels without sticking to the walls of the blood vessels or to other cells. Describe how a glycophorin protein would be synthesized by the cell. Include What parts of the cell are involved and what happens at each location.
