DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a chemical is applied to a cell that kills the ribosome, which process would NOT occur?
A
ATP production
B
photosynthesis
C
transcription
D
translation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -( Proteins will not be synthesized )

Detailed explanation-2: -Loss of ribosomes will stop protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Translation takes place on ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm, where mRNA is read and translated into the string of amino acid chains that make up the synthesized protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translation ends in a process called termination. Termination happens when a stop codon in the mRNA (UAA, UAG, or UGA) enters the A site. Stop codons are recognized by proteins called release factors, which fit neatly into the P site (though they aren’t tRNAs).

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct answer is Protein synthesis. Protein synthesis will not occur if the ribosome in a cell is absent.
