Proteins are important molecules that are synthesized, transported, and used in cells in a multitude of ways. The rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus have parts to play in this system. These functions are respectively.
Identify the answer choice that correctly fills in the blank in the above passage.
(1 point)
A. DNA packaging and DNA storing
B.protein making and protein packaging
C.DNA making and DNA packaging
D.protein packaging and lipid production
B. protein making and protein packaging
The correct answer choice that correctly fills in the blank in the above passage is:
B. protein making and protein packaging
To identify the correct answer choice that fills in the blank, we need to understand the functions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus in relation to proteins.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in protein synthesis, specifically in the process of translating genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. Ribosomes attached to the rough ER produce proteins, which are then inserted into the ER lumen.
The Golgi apparatus, on the other hand, plays a role in protein packaging, modification, and transport. Proteins that are synthesized in the rough ER are transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they undergo further processing, such as post-translational modifications and sorting into vesicles for transportation to their final destination.
Based on this information, the correct answer choice would be:
B. Protein making and protein packaging
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis (protein making), and the Golgi apparatus is responsible for protein packaging.
