Transcription and translation is also known as protein synthesis, and is the expression of genes. the genetic code determines the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide, and the properties of the amino acids give the final structure and function of the protein. other than membrane proteins, state four functions of proteins in the cell.

~ Building Tissues and Muscles.

Protein is necessary in building and repairing body tissues.

~ Hormone Production.

Protein hormones bind to receptors on the cell membrane instead of entering the cell directly.

~ Enzymes

Enzymes are proteins that bind to molecules to speed up chemical reactions.

~ Immune Function

Antibodies are specialized protein configurations that provide a specific immune defense against invaders.
