Question

which of the following is a correct description of protein synthesis? (1 point)
when a cell needs a protein, the golgi apparatus secretes it.
when a cell needs a protein, it has to break down food you eat immediately to make it.
when a cell needs a protein, the cell membrane uses atp to create it.
when a cell needs a protein, a transcript is made from the dna in the nucleus, then transcribed in the ribosome.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis starts with transcription in the nucleus where a mRNA transcript is made from DNA. Then, this mRNA is translated into a protein in the ribosome. The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins, not synthesizes them. Cells don't break down food immediately to make proteins directly, nor does the cell - membrane create proteins using ATP.

Answer:

When a cell needs a protein, a transcript is made from the DNA in the nucleus, then translated in the ribosome.
