    • Protein translocation

      The process of moving a newly synthesized protein from its site of synthesis (the ribosomes) to its final destination within the cell
    • Bile
      A fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder that helps digest fats in the small intestine.
    • Liver
      An organ that produces bile and filters blood, among other functions.
    • Gallbladder
      A small organ that stores bile produced by the liver.
    • Pancreas
      A gland that produces hormones such as insulin and glucagon, as well as digestive enzymes that help break down proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
    • Urea
      A waste product produced by the body when it breaks down proteins. Excreted by the kidneys and diffuses out of the cells into the blood plasma.
    • Physically strong

      The ability of a material or structure to withstand external forces or pressures without breaking or deforming. In the case of structural proteins, they are physically strong because they provide support and stability to cells and tissues by resisting deformation and maintaining their shape under mechanical stress.
    • Large in size

      Refers to the physical dimensions or volume of an object or structure. While structural proteins can be quite large in size (on the scale of nanometers to micrometers), size alone is not what makes them physically strong. Instead, it is their unique molecular structure and chemical composition that give them their strength and rigidity.
