What happens to cytosolic proteins when they are no longer needed?
What happens to cytosolic proteins when they are no longer needed?
- They are broken down in lysosomes to create new proteins or enter the citric acid cycle for energy generation (correct)
- They are immediately expelled from the cell
- They transform into lipids for cellular membrane synthesis
- They are stored in the nucleus for future use
What is the fate of amino acids resulting from protein catabolism if not used for synthesizing new proteins?
What is the fate of amino acids resulting from protein catabolism if not used for synthesizing new proteins?
- They are converted into nucleic acids for DNA replication
- They can enter the citric acid cycle for energy generation (correct)
- They are excreted out of the cell through exocytosis
- They are stored in vacuoles for later use
