Question

The place where proteins undergo further modification, can be stored till required, then sorted, packaged, and transported to a new part of the cell when completed they become amylase proteins.

a) Lysosome
b) Ribosome
c) Golgi Apparatus
d) Mitochondria

Answer 1

The Golgi Apparatus is where proteins, including enzymes like amylase, are modified, packaged, and distributed within the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Golgi Apparatus is the place where proteins undergo further modification, storage, sorting, packaging, and transportation to new parts of the cell. Once completed, these proteins can become functional enzymes, such as amylase.

The Golgi apparatus manipulates products from the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and is also involved in the creation of new organelles called lysosomes. As proteins and other ER products arrive at the Golgi apparatus, they are organized, modified, packaged, and tagged for proper distribution.

Some of these products are then transported to other areas of the cell or exported outside of the cell through exocytosis.
