How a protein is made within a cell
Step 1: A chain of amino acids is formed.
Step 2: The chain of amino acid is crimped or curled depending on how it bonds.
Step 3: The curled/crimped chain of amino acid is squished into a clump.
Step 4: The clump of amino acid is added to another clump of amino acid.

Protein Synthesis
A photocopy of a gene located on DNA is made onto a strand of mRNA. The mRNA leaves the nucleus through the nuclear pores. The mRNA then attaches itself onto a ribosome, which can either on floating in cytoplasm or be attached to the RER. The ribosome reads the mRNA and constructs a chain of amino acids. If the ribosome is on the RER, it travels through it and is bleebed into a vesicle to travel to the Golgi Body. If the ribosome is floating in cytoplasm, it travels directly to the Golgi Body. The chain of amino acids goes through the Glogli Body which processes and packages the protein until it is ready to use. The Golgi bleebs the fully functional protein into another vesicle where is travels to its ultimate destination. If the ribosome was attached to the RER, its ultimate destination would be outside the cell, and if the ribosome was floating, it would be inside the cell.
