Protein Synthesis in Cells

3 Things Cells Have in Common
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
What are organelles?
What is the structure where ribosomes are
made?
Function of Ribosomes
Function of Endoplasmic Reticulum?
How are proteins transported to the Golgi
Apparatus?
Steps to Protein Synthesis
Plants vs. Animal Cells
Background Information:
Ribosomes are made in the nucleus in a structure called the nucleolus. Once ribosomes leave the nucleus, they have the important
job of synthesizing (making) proteins!
It is important that once a protein is made, it gets delivered to its specific cellular location. To accomplish this, the protein is
transferred through a series of membrane structures. An important organelle in this process is, the Golgi Apparatus. Proteins from
the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum are sent to the Golgi Apparatus. As the protein moves through the Golgi apparatus, they are
modified and packaged into vesicles for distribution to their intended cellular location.
Amylase is an enzyme that is found in saliva (Remember: enzymes are proteins!). Saliva is an important part of the digestive system
as it begins the process of chemical digestion in the mouth. Amylase works by breaking down the chemical bonds in starches and
releases sugars. As food enters the mouth, digestive enzymes, like amylase, begin the breakdown of carbohydrates into smaller
molecules.
