Question

If the endoplasmic reticulars were removed from the cell, which organelle would not be able to function properly, and why?

1. Mitochondria, because they rely on the ER as an energy source
2.Ribosomes, because they receive proteins made by the ER
3.Golgi apparatus, because n packages proteins received from the ER
4.Cytoplasm, because it relies on the ER for structural support​

Answer 1

C. Golgi apparatus

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test on Edg.

Answer 2

3.Golgi apparatus, because n packages proteins received from the ER

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Mitochondria, because they rely on the ER as an energy source - this is false. The mitochondria are the energy-producing organelles in the cell. They do not rely on the ER for energy

2.Ribosomes, because they receive proteins made by the ER - this is false, the ribosomes are the protein synthesis factories of the cell. Some of them are even attached to the ER

3.Golgi apparatus, because n packages proteins received from the ER - this is true. The ER is involved in folding and modifying proteins, which are passed to the Golgi for further modification and transport.

4.Cytoplasm, because it relies on the ER for structural support​ - this is false, structural support is provided by the cytoskeleton
