All Proteins Made by the Ribosomes are Exported from a Cell

Question

All proteins made by the ribosomes are exported from a cell for use elsewhere in the body.

Accepted Answer

Proteins made by ribosomes may be intended for use within the cell, such as enzymes involved in metabolism or structural proteins that support the cytoskeleton. Some proteins are also used locally in tissues, while others may be secreted from the cell or remain anchored in the cell membrane. Additionally, some free ribosomes may synthesize proteins that are never exported, such as those involved in transcription or translation.
