The N-terminal signal peptide is recognised by SRP (signal recognition particle). SRP directs the peptide to translocons on the membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, usually during translation (co-translational). The translocon is responsible for the transport of the protein into the endoplasmic reticulum, from which it will either be secreted or sent to organelles such as the mitochondria, chloroplasts, endosome, lysomome and peroxisome. These organelles require that proteins go through the endoplasmic reticulum as the proteins are incorporated into the organelles through vesicular transport, as they do not have their own uptake methods.
Proteins destined for the nucleus are not sent through the endoplasmic reticulum, as the method of transport into the nucleus is not vesicular. Instead, the nucleus has its own pores capable of translocating proteins into the nucleus.
Small objects can pass through these nuclear pores by passive transport, but anything bigger than 40kDa requires a special mechanism. Proteins destined for the nucelus have a nuclear-localisation signal (NLS) instead of the N-terminal signal peptide. The NLS is a seven residue sequence of basic amino acids at the C-terminus.
Amino acids. Proteins are formed in the nucleolus (not to be confused with the nucleus).
proteins; they form a covalent bond with amino acids creating a peptide bond
Yes
Amino acids are joined by peptide bonds to form proteins.
Yes they do. proteins are macromolecules that are made up of amino acids connected with peptide linkage. Sulfur containing amino acids such as cysteine, methionine are also can be present in proteins. they are involved in the formation of disulfide linkage in the protein molecule.

peptide bonds -CONH- the carboxylic group of one amino acid loses an OH group and the amino group of the other amino acid loses a H atom, eliminating a molecule of water for each peptide bond formed
PEPTIDE
Proteins have their monomers joined by peptide bonds. These monomers are amides. A number of amides are bond by peptide bonds to make proteins.
Proteins have peptide bonds which are covalent.
Yes hydrogen is present in protein back bone and peptide side chains. In addition proteins are rich in Carbon hence known as organic molecule. Traces of sulfur also their in aminoacids such as serine and threionine
