Yes, it is. There are two types of RNA, mRNA (messenger RNA) which copies the DNA codons in reverse, and tRNA (transfer RNA), which recopies from the mRNA the codon in reverse, thus restoring the correct codon from the DNA. The tRNA then finds its corresponding amino acid in the ribosome and brings it to the growing polypeptide chain, attaching it in the proper place, until an entire protein is made.

What role does RNA polymerase play in the process of protein synthesis?

RNA polymerase is an enzyme that helps in the transcription of DNA into RNA during protein synthesis. It catalyzes the formation of an RNA molecule that carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes, where the actual protein synthesis takes place.


Does DNA travel to ribosomes for protein synthesis?

mRNA (messenger Ribo-Nucleic Acid) carries the information to the ribosomes.


What is the actual site of protein synthesis?

Protein synthesis occurs on ribosomes within the cell. Ribosomes can be found in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. The ribosomes read the mRNA template and assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain.


Is DNA the actual template for protein synthesis?

Yes, DNA serves as the template for protein synthesis. During transcription, the DNA sequence is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which then carries the genetic information to the ribosome. In the ribosome, the mRNA is translated into a specific sequence of amino acids, forming a protein. Thus, DNA is crucial in directing the synthesis of proteins through the intermediary mRNA.


During protein synthesis where does the cell get information?

The cell gets the information for protein synthesis from DNA in the nucleus. The DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where the actual protein synthesis takes place.


What are some structures and organelles that are involved in protein synthesis?

Structures involved in protein synthesis include ribosomes (where actual protein synthesis occurs) and the endoplasmic reticulum (where newly synthesized proteins are processed and packaged). Organelles involved are the nucleus (where DNA is transcribed into mRNA) and the Golgi apparatus (where proteins are modified further and sorted for transport).


What is attached to membrane systems and scattered in the cytoplasm and synthesize proteins?

Ribosomes are attached to membrane systems like the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or free-floating in the cytoplasm. They function in protein synthesis by translating the genetic information from RNA into proteins.


What organelle functions as the site of protein synthesis in the cell?

The proteins in a cell are produced by Ribosomes. They are modified however by the endoplasmic reticulum as well as well as the Golgi apparatus. For the purpose of this question the actual synthesis occurs at the Ribosomes as these are small multiple part cellular machines that interpret (Translate) RNA into the final proteins. This question implies a bound site however and the Ribosomes can be free moving in the cytoplasm of the cell. The rough ER is the site that these bind and stay stationary for a time. The best overall answer to satiate a pedantic instructor would be to say. "The ribosomes attached to the rough ER function as the major site for protein synthesis."


What is the minimum number NTPs requred for formation of one peptide bond during protein synthesis?

Two NTPs are required for the formation of one peptide bond during protein synthesis. Specifically, one NTP is needed for charging the tRNA with the corresponding amino acid, and a second NTP is required for the actual bond formation in the ribosome.


How is RNA molecule a script for the protein production process?

RNA molecules act as a template for protein synthesis through a process called translation. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information from DNA in the cell's nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where the actual protein synthesis occurs. The ribosomes "read" the mRNA codons and recruit transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which bring specific amino acids to the ribosome in the correct sequence, forming a protein.


The location of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells is the?

The location of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells is the ribosomes. Ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm and on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Proteins are synthesized by ribosomes based on the instructions provided by messenger RNA (mRNA).
