What is meant by protein turnover? What is meant by protein turnover? a. Nitrogen equilibrium b. The antibody-antigen complex
c. The synthesis and degradation of body proteins d. The failure of the body to form needed proteins e. The secondary structure of proteins that initiates folding
The correct option is: c. The synthesis and degradation of body proteins
Explanation:
Protein turnover refers to the <u>process of breakdown of the old protein molecules and its replacement in the human body.</u> It involves the following two processes: protein degradation and protein synthesis.
The protein degradation occurs in the lysosomes and in the cytoplasmic complex known as proteasome. Whereas, protein synthesis occurs on the ribosomes.
