Figure 14.10 In eukaryotic cells, DNA and RNA synthesis occur in a separate compartment from protein synthesis. In prokaryotic cells, both processes occur together. What advantages might there be to separating the processes? What advantages might there be to having them occur together?

Lipids and carbohydrates are added to proteins by the Golgi complex. c. Proteins are transported directly into the cytosol for secretion from the cell. d. Proteins that are to be stored by the cell are moved to the rough ER. e. Proteins are synthesized in vesicles.
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic ribosomes are similar in that: a. both contain a small subunit, but only eukaryotes contain a large subunit. b. both contain the same number of proteins. c. both use mRNA to assemble amino acids into proteins. d. both contain the same number of types of rRNA. e. both produce proteins that can pass through pores into the nucleus.
Trace the path of proteins synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum as they are processed, modified, and sorted by the Golgi complex and then transported to specific destinations.
In 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a persons own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwangs group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?
