Ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum. Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein translation and are composed of ribosomal RNA. So, the answer has to be A and C.

The right answer to this question is option D. Golgi apparatus.

First things first, you need to truly understand how the process of making a protein works since the DNA reading. After this reading, a single ribbon of mRNA is sent outside the cell, after that, this mRNA is read by the anticodons on the tRNA/ribosomes, and by that, simplifying it to you, the cell makes a protein, made of aminoacids.

But where are the organelles in this process? We already know one, ribosomes, they make the protein for the body, and after that, the protein is sent to the Golgi apparatus, it's here that this organelle will either add carbohydrates or just send the protein outside the cell through a secretion vesicle.

Which organs are responsible for destroying old red blood cells?

Elan Coil [88]

<span>Spleen is also known as the graveyard of RBC, if it helps u

1.Stem cells in bone marrow make all blood cells. RBC lives about 120 days.
RBC are destroyed in Spleen. This process takes place as:
- RBCs are ruptured.
- Heme and globin portions separated.
- Globin > amino acids.
- Iron transferred in transferrin into the blood > into bone marrow for reuse.
- Heme > Biliverdin > Bilirubin > liver >small intestine.

2.Reticuloendothelial cells participate in the destruction of senescent RBC's. The spleen is a well suited site of RBC destruction given that cells must course through 2-3 micron apertures in the walls of splenic sinusoids, which is an ultimate test of cell pliability. Rigid cells are entrapped and phagocytosed. Intra-erythrocyte inclusions are removed during splenic circulation.
Destruction of RBCs happens within reticuloendothelial cells – NOT in the circulation. Globin and heme get recycled, porphyrin is degraded to bilirubin which is conjugated by the liver and excreted in the gut. Rate limiting step is conjugation. Indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin is result if this doesn’t happen.
Normally ~10% RBCs lyse while in circulation Þ Hgb gets released into circulation and rapidly disassociates into alpha and beta dimers which are bound by haptoglobin. The Hgb/haptoglobin complex is transported to the liver. If haptoglobin is depleted, free Hgb circulates and is filtered by the kidney. Free Hgb is either reabsorbed by renal tubular cells or excreted as free Hgb in the urine.

3. Another site reported that
RBC destroyed in liver and spleen, by macrophages. 2 million destroyed per second.
Hb is released and iron is recovered and returned to bone marrow.</span>

Why would cells from the same organism have different functions?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Explanation: Cells have to fulfill multiple different functions to be able to build complex multicellular organisms. Differently expressed genes lead to different proteins made in the cell, which leads to different morphology, shape or function. ... When this factor cannot be expressed, these cells do not develop at all.
