Question

All proteins normally secreted by the cell would remain partially formed and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

A) True, they cannot move from the E.R.
B) False, they are immediately released from the E.R.
C) True, they are degraded inside the E.R.
D) False, they move to the Golgi apparatus for further processing.

Answer 1

The correct answer is False, they move to the Golgi apparatus for further processing. Proteins that are secreted by the cell are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and then transported to the Golgi apparatus for further processing and modification.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D) False, they move to the Golgi apparatus for further processing.

Proteins that are secreted by the cell are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and then transported to the Golgi apparatus for further processing and modification. The Golgi apparatus adds carbohydrates and other modifications to the proteins, making them ready for secretion.

After modification in the Golgi apparatus, the proteins are packaged into vesicles that bud from the trans face of the Golgi, and these vesicles can then fuse with the plasma membrane and release their contents outside the cell.
