Question

In prokaryotes, after the ribosomes complete a synthesis, one would expect to find A) a new protein molecule to appear in the nucleus B) a protein to form inside the endoplasmic reticulum C) an increase in the amount of protein ( enzyme ) in the cell D) a, b, and c are possible E) none are possible In prokaryotes, after the ribosomes complete a synthesis, one would expect to find A) a new protein molecule to appear in the nucleus B) a protein to form inside the endoplasmic reticulum C) an increase in the amount of protein ( enzyme ) in the cell D) a, b, and c are possible E) none are possible A) a new protein molecule to appear in the nucleus B) a protein to form inside the endoplasmic reticulum C) an increase in the amount of protein ( enzyme ) in the cell D) a, b, and c are possible E) none are possible

Explanation / Answer

Answer: C. An increase in amount of protein (enzyme) in the cell

Explanation: Protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes which are located in the cytosol associated with rough endoplasmic reticulum. Hence, option A which states that new protein molecule which appear in nucleus is false, as new protein molecules appear in cytosol which reach to different destinations like nucleus, plasma membrane, mitochondria by protein targeting

Option B is also false as new protein molecule is formed on ribosomes on surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum but not inside

Option C is true as translation increases the amount of proteins. Enzymes being polypeptides or proteins in nature, after translation the amount of proteins (enzymes) increase. Hence, the correct answer is C
