Much of the intracellular structure of a eukaryote cell is involved in protein synthesis. The accompanying figure shows the amounts of protein in cells at different parts of the cell cycle between two cell divisions. G1 is a stage just after the cell has divided, and G2 is the stage just before the cell divides again. S is a stage when the cell is synthesizing material such as DNA, mitochondria, and other organelles.
-Which of these conclusions cannot reasonably be drawn from the graph?
A) Protein production occurs throughout the cell cycle.
B) An increase in ribosomal activity occurs as a cell prepares to divide.
C) Cells export a large amount of protein following cell division.
D) There is always a supply of amino acids in the cell.
