There are many systems within the cell that have to come together and function exactly right in order for protein synthesis to occur.
For starters, the cell's DNA serves as the template for proteins. One gene corresponds to the information needed to produce one type of protein.
Cells will first copy a single gene to an intermediate form that the protein generating machinery can read from. This template is just a modified form of DNA and is called mRNA. It hangs out in the cytoplasm waiting for protein generating machinery to come by and read it.
The protein generating machinery, or ribosomes, are responsible for actually producing proteins. Proteins are just long chains of amino acid molecules. Ribosomes are responsible for linking up the amino acid molecules in a very specific order that corresponds directly to the mRNA template.
Thus the DNA is TRANSCRIBED to mRNA, which is then TRANSLATED to protein.
This is the central dogma of molecular Biology: DNA -> mRNA -> protein.
The protein molecules that result may then float freely in the cell's cytoplasm (where they were produced), or they may go through a series of packaging systems, where they could then ultimately be released from the cell in a process called exocytosis.

59 33 The insertion of a human DNA fragment into a bacterial cell might make it possible for what?
1 for bacterial cell to produce a human protein
Are ribosomes like food?
No, actually ribosomes are organelles in a cell that produce protein.
A cell that contains large numbers of ribosomes would produce a large number of what biomolecule?
protein Ribosomal function is to produce proteins.They provide surface for protein synthesis
During interphase a cell grows duplicates organelles and?
duplicate its DNA, chromosome and produce protein..
What two organelles produce protein?
The two organelles that produce protein are the ribosomes and the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The ribosomes manufacture proteins for the cell through protein synthesis. The rough endoplasmic reticulum produces proteins here that are often secreted by the cell and carried by the vesicles to the Golgi apparatus.
How do you produce protein?
Ribosomes produce proteins in the cell.
What cell organelles produce protein?
ribosomes
What structure of a cell has protein synthesis?
The ribosomes of the cell produce proteins.
How is protein released from a cell?
The Golgi Apparatus in the cell packages or modifies the protein for release and then exits the cell.
The organelles that produce proteins used within the cell are what?
Ribosomes produce protein
Describe how cells produce and release protiens?
Protein The cell produces proteins by a process called translation. mRNA is translated at the ribosome into proteins.
Where does a cell produce protein?
on the ribosomes and the rough endoplasmic reticulum
What are the organelles that produce protein used within the cell?
ribosomes
What in the animal cell produces protein?
Ribosomes, in the animal cell, are sites of protein synthesis. The rough ER produce the proteins, though.
What makes a protein a cell?
Ribosomes produce the animal cell's protein.
Why does a cell need ribosomes?
Ribosomes are needed to produce protein in cells.
What structure is produce when protein fibers radiate from?
