1. The path of a protein

2. The cell’s main job is to create proteins.

3. The recipe of making proteins is written in the DNA The DNA is stored in the NUCLEUS The NUCLEOLUS (inside the nucleus) produces ribosomes

4. The RIBOSOMES contain RNA. The job of the ribosomes is to make proteins. Links the amino acids together to make the proteins THIS IS THE PROTEIN

5. Once complete, proteins are transported to the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. Proteins are then sent to the GOLGI BODY There the proteins are processed, packaged and shipped

6. The Golgi body packages the proteins into vesicles and they are sent to other locations that include ◦Other organelles ◦Vacuole (for storage) ◦Out of the cell
