What part of the cell functions as factories to produce proteins?
Answer (2)
The production of a protein is called protein synthesis and this is splits into two parts 'transcription' & 'translation! I'm not sure how much depth you need so I'll be brief: Transcription: Occurs in the nucleus The double helix unzips to leave one strand The bases are joined by weak hydrogen bonds The mRNA (messanger RNA) takes this onto the next stage as a copy of the bases has been taken!
Translation: The copy is taken out into the cytoplasm In the cytoplasm there are organelles called ribosomes The ribosome reads the DNA tRNA is involved in this They are split into triplets ( three bases) which makes an amino acid & amino acids all code for a protein. Hopes this helps!! :D
Ribosomes are the part of the cell that functions as factories to produce proteins. They perform protein synthesis through two main processes: transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm. Ribosomes can be found freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
