Question

There should be a strong positive correlation between the rate of protein synthesis and _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Protein synthesis occurs in cellular structures called ribosomes, found out-side the nucleus. The process by which genetic information is transferred from the nucleus to the ribosomes is called transcription. During transcription, a strand of ribonucleic acid (RNA) is synthesized.

Also, ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Although only a few rRNA molecules are present in each ribosome, these molecules make up about half of the ribosomal mass. The remaining mass consists of a number of proteins nearly 60 in prokaryotic cells and over 80 in eukaryotic cells. So, there should be positive correlation between ribosomes and protein synthesis as, Ribosomes are important because they are responsible for protein synthesis. Free ribosomes, in particular, are important because they produce proteins essential for internal cellular activity, which are not synthesized elsewhere.
