Detailed explanation-1: -The ER has two major functions: Transport: Molecules, such as proteins, can move from place to place inside the ER, much like on an intracellular highway. Synthesis: Ribosomes that are attached to the ER, similar to unattached ribosomes, make proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi apparatus is the central organelle mediating protein and lipid transport within the eukaryotic cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus the rough E.R. and the Golgi apparatus and vesicles are part of the cell’s highway system because they are involved in moving proteins around the cell and to the outside of the cell. This cell’s highway system is called PROTEIN TRAFFICKING.
