Tetracycline is an antibiotic that blocks tRNA from entering the ribosome and associating with mRNA. If tetracycline were added to the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, which types of proteins would be made?(1 point) Responses Only proteins that will be inserted into a membrane Only proteins that will be inserted into a membrane Only proteins that will be exported outside of the cell Only proteins that will be exported outside of the cell Only proteins that function in the cytoplasm of the cell Only proteins that function in the cytoplasm of the cell No proteins will be made if tRNA cannot bind to mRNA
No proteins will be made if tRNA cannot bind to mRNA.
In a eukaryotic cell, if tetracycline is added to the cytoplasm and it blocks tRNA from entering the ribosome and associating with mRNA, no proteins will be made.
If tetracycline is added to the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, it blocks tRNA from entering the ribosome and associating with mRNA. This means that the process of protein synthesis would be affected. In order to determine which types of proteins would be made, we need to understand the different cellular locations where proteins are synthesized.
Proteins that are inserted into membranes are typically made on ribosomes associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These proteins are commonly involved in functions such as membrane transport and signalling.
Proteins that are exported outside of the cell are also synthesized on ribosomes associated with the ER. These proteins undergo specific post-translational modifications and are transported through the secretory pathway to be released from the cell.
Proteins that function in the cytoplasm of the cell are typically synthesized on free ribosomes in the cytoplasm. These proteins are involved in various cellular processes such as metabolism, cytoskeleton organization, and storage.
Based on the information provided, if tetracycline blocks tRNA from entering the ribosome and associating with mRNA, no proteins would be made. This is because protein synthesis requires the translation of mRNA by ribosomes using tRNA molecules as "building blocks." Without functional tRNA, the process of protein synthesis is interrupted, resulting in no protein production. Therefore, the correct answer is "No proteins will be made if tRNA cannot bind to mRNA."
