Question

Cacao beans arrive in a factory from the areas where they grew. At the factory, the best beans are sorted and put into bags. After quality-control workers check the bags, a large truck transports the cacao beans to a commercial chocolate-producing company. Which organelle plays a similar role inside a cell?

Answer 1

The question lacks options, the options are: a. cytoplasm b. golgi body c. mitochondrion d. ribosome e. vacuole

The answer is Golg body/apparatus

Step-by-step explanation:

Proteins are synthesized in the ribosomes after a gene has successfully undergone transcription and translation processes. However, the synthesized protein needs to undergo sorting, modification and packaging before it finally leaves for its final destination. These process of sorting, modification and packaging is conducted by an organnelle called GOLGI APPARATUS. The modified protein is then transported via transport vesicles to their respective target locations or organs where they will be used.

The illustration in the question here is similar to the above explanation. Cacao beans are the proteins produces from gene expression. They arrive in the factory, which is the Golgi apparatus in this case and undergo sorting and packaging. After this processes, they are later put into large trucks, which are the transport vesicles, and transported to a commercial chocolate company (target location/organs) which they are used.
