Why are red blood cells unable to replace damaged proteins

1 answer:

7 0

The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as the nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly, and repair. In other words, they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able to satisfy the central dogma which summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, then translating or decoding this information, which results in the making of protein.

Ksenya-84 [330]

The three-dimensional compositions have more silicon in comparison to those composed of independent tetrahedra.

The silicate minerals refer to the most general of Earth's minerals and involve feldspar, quartz, mica, pyroxene, amphibole, and olivine. On the other hand, the silica tetrahedra composed of oxygen and silicon, produce sheets, chains, and frameworks, and bonds with other cations to produce silicate minerals.

Vsevolod [243]

The anticodons on tRNA are the ones that pair with codons on mRNA during translation.

<h3>Translation</h3>

It is also known as protein synthesis.

During this process, the genetic codes on mRNA, otherwise known as codons, pair with their complementary anticodons on tRNA to release the respective amino acid.

The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to give the primary structure of proteins.
