Question

Compared with the trans-Golgi proteins, the cis-Golgi proteins would a. be identical.

b. be shorter in length.
c. be glycosylated and contain amino acid modifications.
d. contain sialic acid.
e. be glycosylated

Answer 1

A. be identical.

C. be glycosylated and contain amino acid modifications.

Step-by-step explanation:

In comparing the proteins in a cis Golgi area with those in a trans Golgi area, one would discover that: these proteins are identical in nature. The Cis-Golgi proteins are glycosylated and contain modified amino acids while the trans-Golgi proteins amino acids are not modified.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option e. "be glycosylated".

Step-by-step explanation:

Proteins can either enter to the Golgi apparatus facing the endoplasmic reticulum (cis-Golgi proteins) or facing the plasma membrane on the cell (trans-Golgi proteins). The difference between trans-Golgi proteins and cis-Golgi proteins is that the latter are glycosylated. Glycosylation takes place in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, therefore proteins that enter trough this organelle, most likely undergo this post-translation modification.
