Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What must happen to a newly made polypeptide before it can be secreted from a cell?
A
it must be translated by a ribosome found in the cytoplasm of the cell and then sent toward the cell membrane
B
it must be produced by a ribosome on the rough ER and sent to the golgi apparatus
C
It must be produced by a ribosome in the golgi apparatus and sent to the rough ER.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes engaged in the synthesis of proteins that are destined for secretion are then targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum by a signal sequence at the amino terminus of the growing polypeptide chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Newly synthesized proteins enter the endomembrane system through the endoplasmic reticulum. From there them move through the Golgi apparatus and into either the Secretory Pathway or the Lysosomal Pathway.
