Question

After a protein is made in the endoplasmic reticulum of an animal cell, it A) attaches to a ribosome on the ER membrane to be encoded and used in DNA replication B) is sent to the Golgi apparatus to be processed, stored, and sent to another destination C) is stored in the large central vacuole until it is needed by the cell for growth and repair D) travels to the mitochondria to be broken down and used for energy to power the cell

Answer 1

Answer:

B) is sent to the Golgi apparatus to be processed, stored, and sent to another destination

Explanation:

Proteins are important biomolecules produced in the cells of living organisms, specifically the Rough Endoplasmic reticulum (RER) attached to the ribosome (site of protein synthesis).

However, after production by the RER, the protein is sent to an organelle called the Golgi apparatus in order to be processed, stored, and sent to another destination by transport vesicles.
