Proteins

Proteins are the macromolecules coded in our DNA that function as a biocatalyst and build our body. Apart from Biological knowledge, there are spectacular concepts in the field of proteins. How does a protein produce a function, how do they interact, how did they evolve and how do protein mutations cause disease.

What organ produces enzymes that break down fats proteins and carbohydrates?

The gallbladder, which is an accessory organ of the small intestines, makes bile which is secreted into the small intestine and emulsifies (breaks down) fats.

What refines and packages proteins?

Golgi complex or Golgi apparatus, or something like that.

What part of the cell process proteins?

well with out protein you will be as week as a cat but not only protein makes you strong, you need carbohydrates to make your protein work.

You might be thinking specifically about Pepsin. This enzyme is in the stomach and it digests proteins into peptides.

What do proteins and ribosomes make?

tRNA

They are made up of proteins and rRNA. rRna are ribosomal RNA

Is trypsin a protein?

No, trypsinogen is a zymogen, an enzyme precursor, an inactive chemical produced by the pancreas. In the intestine, trypsinogen is activated by the mucosal enzyme enteropeptidease to produce the enzyme trypsin which is critical to digestion.

What is the four levels of proteins?

Proteins have primary structure, which is their amino acid sequence, secondary structure, which is either the alpha helix or the beta pleated sheet, tertiary structure, the protein's geometric shape, and quaternary structure, the arrangement of multiple protein subunits.

What basic unit do proteins have 20 types of?

Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are known as the building blocks of proteins. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can combine in various sequences to form different proteins with diverse functions.

What small round structure makes proteins?

Ribosomes are the structure that synthesize proteins. They are located on the endoplasmic reticulum, which is an organelle inside the cell.

How is protein created from amino acids?

To answer this question we have to talk a process called: "Translation". After the "Transcription", that is, the mechanism from where a mRNA molecule is synthesized from a DNA double helix. The mRNA molecule migrates outside the nucleus to the cytoplasm and specifically to the ribosomes (a complex protein organelles that serve as building machines for new polypeptide molecules). The mRNA molecule carries the specific sequence for the synthesis of the new polypeptide (protein) chain and serves as a "template" for the proper order of the amino acids that will constitute the new protein molecule. To add the amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain are necessary the tRNA molecules (these RNA structures carry a single amino acid that will be added to the growing polypeptide chain). Each tRNA has a specific three-nucleotide sequence (called "anticodon") that recognizes the corresponding three-nucleotide sequence (codon) on the mRNA molecule. Each amino acid monomer (carried by its particular tRNA) is anchored, one by one, to the previous amino acid that was added before by a peptide bond. This mechanism is taken place in a particular region of the ribosome, a cleft that provides the nascent polypeptide's exit path.

What organelle are proteins synthesized with?

It is the ribosome. Proteins are synthesized on that

What do compliment proteins do?

Compliment proteins are proteins found in the blood that fight off infections and diseases. They are produced by predecessor proteins, and are called "compliment" proteins because they participate in a compliment reaction.

Are proteins lipid soluble?

No, they are called phospholipids because they are made of lipids and phosphate group. Most phospholipids contain a diglyceride, a phosphate group, and a simple organic molecule such as choline.

Are actin and myosin structural proteins?

In addition to providing structural support, actin filaments are involved in movement when they interact with the specialized protein myosin. Myosin is a motor protein that converts the chemical energy in ATP into the mechanical work of movement. The interaction between actin and myosin that produces movement: When ATP binds to themyosin and is then hydrolyzed to ADP, the "head" region of the myosin molecule binds to the actin filament on the slide. The movement of this protein causes the ctin filament to slide. This type of movement is analogous to a line of people who are passing along a long log or pole, the people are myosin molecules; the log is the is the actin.

How do proteins and lipids help cells?

Lets look at two examples of a lipid in a cell.

# Phospholipid: A phospholipid chain(composed of a glycerol and 3 fatty acid) is an essential part of the cell membrane. # cholesterol: Cholesterol controls the fluidity of the cell membrane.

What effect do proteins have on the body?

Protein is needed by the body for many of its different functions. The muscles, organs, bones, and immune system all require protein to work properly. You get protein by eating foods like red meat, eggs, and diary products.

What organelle is used for making proteins?

In a cell, ribosomes make proteins with amino acids based on the RNA blueprints copied from the DNA.

List functions of proteins?

  1. Enzymes: Catalyze biochemical reactions
  2. Structural proteins: Provide support and strength to cells and tissues
  3. Transport proteins: Facilitate the movement of molecules across cell membranes
  4. Hormones: Regulatory proteins that coordinate various physiological processes.

What organelle processes sorts and delivers proteins?

Chloroplasts for photosynthesis, (plants)

Human protein synthesis is Mitochondria for energy (human)

Protoplasm consists of numerous combinations of 22 proteins?

Protoplasm is a complex substance found inside cells, composed of various molecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, rather than solely 22 proteins. These molecules work together to support cellular functions like metabolism, growth, and reproduction.

What enzyme is responsible for proteins digestion?

Hydrolytic enzymes that break down proteins are a class of enzymes called proteases.

Are antibodies self-produced proteins?

No; antibodies cannot produce themselves.
