Protein synthesis is a vital function in all cells. Identify two cell structures involved in protein synthesis and state how each structure functions in protein synthesis. Cell Structure Function in Protein Synthesis

Ribosome and rough endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

As the name implies, protein synthesis, involves the synthesis of proteins in a cell. Cellular structures in a cell called organelles are responsible for this function. These organelles include ribosome and rough endoplasmic reticulum.

The ribosome is an organelle found in all cell types and is the site for the synthesis of proteins in the cell. The ribosome is where translation (process of synthesizing amino acid chains from mRNA) occurs. The chains of amino acid later becomes the protein.

The Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) gets it "roughness" from the fact that RIBOSOMES are attached to its surface. Due to this, the RER functions in the synthesis of proteins. The RER is involved in the production, folding and packaging of proteins in eukaryotic cells. The RER processes the polypeptide produced by the ribosome into proteins that are carried to varying destinations.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
