When a cell needs a protein, the cell membrane uses ATP to create it.

Answer 1

The correct description of protein synthesis is:

When a cell needs a protein, a transcript is made from the DNA in the nucleus, then transcribed in the ribosome.

This statement accurately captures the process of transcription (where DNA is transcribed to RNA) occurring in the nucleus, followed by translation (where RNA is translated into protein) at the ribosome. The other options presented contain inaccuracies regarding the mechanisms of protein synthesis.
