The correct answer is: protein making and protein packaging.
The correct answer choice that fills in the blank is "protein making and protein packaging."
To determine the correct answer choice, we need to understand the functions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus in protein synthesis and transportation.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a role in protein synthesis. It has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance. These ribosomes synthesize proteins and the rough ER helps in folding and modifying those proteins.
The Golgi apparatus, on the other hand, is responsible for protein packaging and transport. It receives proteins from the rough ER and further modifies and sorts them. The proteins are then packaged into vesicles and transported to their final destinations within the cell or outside the cell.
Based on this information, the correct answer choice is "protein making and protein packaging." The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis, while the Golgi apparatus is responsible for protein packaging.
