1
New cards

DNA

contains all the instructions needed to make proteins

2
New cards

MRNA

copies the sequences needed to build a specific protein and takes that message to a ribosome

3
New cards

Ribosomes

are the control site for protein synthesis

4
New cards

Endoplasmic reticulum

has embedded ribosomes that continue to build proteins; acts as a conveyor belt, moving proteins along, assisting the ribosomes, typically helps with folding

5
New cards

Golgi apparatus

add final touches + packages the protein in a vesicle, sends off for delivery (UPS)

6
New cards

Vesicle

migrates to the cell membrane, fuses with membrane, releases the protein (exocytosis)
