What is the minimum number of building blocks needed to make a protein?
A protein is made up of a sequence of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The minimum number of building blocks needed to make a protein is 20 different amino acids.
Do vacuoles make proteins?
No, vacuoles do not make proteins. Vacuoles are organelles within cells that primarily store water, ions, and nutrients, and may also contain waste products. Proteins are synthesized by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
How can 4 nitrogen bases code for thousands of proteins?
The genetic code is degenerate, meaning that multiple codons (sequences of 3 nitrogen bases) can code for the same amino acid. This redundancy allows for 4 nitrogen bases to encode for 20 different amino acids. By combining these amino acids in various sequences, thousands of different proteins can be synthesized.
What essentially aids in cellular homeostasis by providing the main transport mechanism for proteins within the cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) aids in cellular homeostasis by providing the main transport mechanism for proteins within the cell. The ER serves as a network of membranes where proteins are synthesized and folded before being transported to their final destination within or outside the cell. This process is crucial for maintaining the balance of proteins and other cellular components needed for proper cell function.
How is it possible to have so many different types of proteins each with a specific function?
There is a specific gene in the chromosomes that codes for each protein. These genes and the proteins they code for evolved to perform those functions needed by the cell.
What is the minimum number of building blocks needed to make a protein?
A protein is made up of a sequence of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The minimum number of building blocks needed to make a protein is 20 different amino acids.
What proteins are made in the nucleolus and why are they important for cell physiology?
As far as I know, messenger RNA is synthesized in the nucleus and then shipped out of the nucleus via nuclear pores where it is then used by ribosomes (and tRNA) to synthesize proteins. Proteins can then move back into the nucleus (and nucleolus) if that is where they are needed.
Information on how to make proteins is located in the Golgi complex or the nucleus?
Proteins are synthesized in the ribosomes, not in the Golgi complex or the nucleus. The nucleus contains the genetic information (DNA) needed to make proteins, which is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry the instructions to the ribosomes. The Golgi complex modifies, sorts, and packages proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum before they are sent to their final destination within or outside the cell.
How does protein synthesis play a role in the cell cycle?
Protein synthesis is essential for the cell cycle because it produces the proteins needed for cell growth, division, and repair. During different phases of the cell cycle, specific proteins are synthesized to regulate processes such as DNA replication, cell division, and cell signaling. This ensures that the cell cycle progresses smoothly and accurately.
What is the function of the Golgi apparotus?
To receive modified proteins from the ER and subject them to further modification. To take these modified proteins, pack them in membrane bound vesicles and ship them to where they are needed in the cell ( by motor protein, usually ) and to places of need outside the cell. Also the lysosomes are synthesized in the Golgi.
Do vacuoles make proteins?
No, vacuoles do not make proteins. Vacuoles are organelles within cells that primarily store water, ions, and nutrients, and may also contain waste products. Proteins are synthesized by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What the function of Golgi apparatus?
Changing proteins and lipids into glycoproteins and glycolipids Packing synthesized materials in secretory vesicles and transporting Producing lysosomes Producing polysaccharides needed for synthesis of cell wall exept cellulose

This redundancy allows for 4 nitrogen bases to encode for 20 different amino acids. By combining these amino acids in various sequences, thousands of different proteins can be synthesized.
Why do cells need a ribosomes?
Every cell needs ribosomes because ribosomes make proteins by assembling chains of amino acids. An amino acid is any of about 20 different organic molecules that are used to make proteins. All cells need proteins to live. Thus, all cells have ribosomes.
How much the minimum deposit to open the accounts?
I think you will find that the minimum deposit needed varies between the different banks and the country you live in. Maybe someone else can verify this.
What produces proteins in the organelle?
Ribosomes produce the proteins needed in a cell
The genetic instructions needed to develop and direct the activities of your body are in the protein found in the body is this true?
Not quite. Genetic instructions are stored in DNA molecules found in the nucleus of cells, not in proteins. Proteins are molecules that are synthesized based on the instructions encoded in DNA. They play various roles in the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs.
