Question

Imagine you are trying to explain the process of protein sorting to your friend who is also taking LS7A. You show them the figure to the right. Provide an explanation for what this figure represents. Be sure to define the term signal peptide and any other terms in the diagram you think your friend would not already know.

Answer 1

When proteins are translated sometimes they have a signal peptide sequence to mark them for a certain place to go.

For example, when there is no signal peptide then the cell knows to send that protein to the cytosol when there is a signal peptide on the amino acid end of the polypeptide then the signal is read by the receptor and the protein is taken to a place like the mitochondria or ER or internal signal then cell knows that protein goes to the nucleus.

A diagram is a visual element that is not a table. Line charts pie charts photos sketches schematics and all kinds of illustrations. In technical writing, it is used to represent data, not both tables or diagrams. Tables and figures are intended to help the reader understand without referring to the text.
