Question

7)Infer whether or not enzymes needed for cellular activities need to be transferred to the cells by the blood stream.

A)Enzymes needed for cellular activities does need to be transferred to the cells through the blood stream. Enzymes are made up mostly proteins, meaning the enzymes can be absorbed by the blood, and carried throughout the body to the cells.

B)No, enzymes needed for cellular activities don’t have to be transferred to the cells by the blood stream. Cells have the ability to synthesize their own enzymes as they need it. Those enzymes are synthesized in the cytoplasm by the free ribosomes and then used to perform cellular activities.

C)Enzymes needed for cellular activities don’t have to be transported in the blood stream. Considering the fact that the cells that are using these enzymes aren’t inside the stomach. I would assume these would be transported using the blood stream.

Explanation / Answer

No, enzymes need for cellular activities don't have to be transferred to the cells by the bloodstream. Cells have the ability to synthesize their own enzymes as they need it. Those enzymes are synthesized in the cytoplasm by the free ribosomes and then used to perform cellular activities(B).

All the enzymes needed for cellular activites are not synthesized in a single location. Every cells have their own responsibilities for the proper functioning of the body. Each cellular functions are controlled by responsible enzymes or proteins. These enzymes required by each cells are synthesized inside each cells itself, not in other locations. Every cell contains organelles such as mitochondria, nucleus, cytoplasm etc. The synthesis of enzymes are occurs in these organelles. The enzyme or protein synthesis consists two important steps: transcription, which occurs in nucleus and translation, which occurs in cytoplasm, in eukaryotes.
