A cell's DNA can be considered the 'recipe' for proteins, as it contains information on how to make proteins.

The recipe first has to be translated into mRNA. The ribosome can then be considered the kitchen (and its catalytic site the head chef), where the mRNA translation of the recipe is used as a template/guide to produce the protein's polypeptide chain(s). Since tRNA prepares and carries the ingredients (amino acids) to the kitchen/head chef, these must be the assitant chefs.

Which part of the cell is like a recipe book?

The part of the cell that is like a recipe book would be the DNA. This is because the DNA tells the organelles each of their functions.


What is an analogy for nucleic acid?

Nucleic acids are like a recipe book for the cell, providing instructions for making proteins and controlling cell functions. Just as a recipe book contains recipes that guide the preparation of meals, nucleic acids contain genetic information that directs the synthesis of proteins in living organisms.


What is DNA the recipe for?

Proteins.


What is the recommended lysis buffer recipe for proteins extraction?

A commonly used lysis buffer recipe for protein extraction includes components such as Tris-HCl, sodium chloride, NP-40, and protease inhibitors. This buffer helps break down cell membranes and release proteins for further analysis.

Are proteins assembled in the cell?

Ribosomes are the cell organelles that assemble proteins. They function as factories to produce usable proteins for a cell.


What kinds of proteins can be found in cell membranes?

There are two kinds of proteins in a cell membrane: peripheral PROTEINS OR trans membrane proteins. Cell membranes are able to perform various functions only because of different membrane protein functions. Most of the membrane proteins have alpha helix structure.


What are the proteins that control reactions in a cell?

The proteins that control reaction in a cell are enzymes.


Where in the cell are ribosomal proteins synthesized?

Ribosomal proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm of the cell.


How do proteins leave the cell?

Proteins leave the cell through a process called exocytosis, where they are packaged into vesicles and transported to the cell membrane. The vesicle then fuses with the cell membrane, releasing the proteins outside of the cell.
