a)Why is protein synthesis important?b) In what ways are proteins essential to an organism?

Answer 1

Amino acids are the monomers which are polymerized to produce proteins. Amino acid synthesis is the set of biochemical processes (metabolic pathways) which build the amino acids from carbon sources like glucose. Not all amino acids may be synthesised by every organism, for example adult humans have to obtain 8 of the 20 amino acids from their diet.
Many proteins undergo post-translational modification. This may include the formation of disulfide bridges or attachment of any of a number of biochemical functional groups, such as acetate, phosphate, various lipids and carbohydrates. Enzymes may also remove one or more amino acids from the leading (amino) end of the polypeptide chain, leaving a protein consisting of two polypeptide chains connected by disulfide bonds.



The amino acids are then loaded onto tRNA molecules for use in the process of translation.

importance include enzymes, hormones ,structure ,repair wear and tear
also musculature

Answer 2

Almost everything we do and everything we are is due to our genetic makeup (our genes). The only things genes encode for is proteins, so protein synthesis and proteins are what makes us human!

Answer 3

proteins give an organism energy for it to move and transfer things back and forth through the cell membrane.
