Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ ____ modifies proteins and transports them to other cell parts. Sometimes called the Super Highway or Emergency Road!
A
Cell membrane
B
Endoplasmic reticulum
C
Golgi complex (apparatus, bodies)
D
Organ system
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi apparatus modifies and sorts proteins for transport throughout the cell. The Golgi apparatus is often found in close proximity to the ER in cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -From the endoplasmic reticulum, proteins are transported in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus, where they are further processed and sorted for transport to lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion from the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rough endoplasmic reticulum has many ribosomes on its outer surface and makes proteins the cell needs. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes other substances that the cell needs, such as lipids (fats) and carbohydrates (sugars). The endoplasmic reticulum is a cell organelle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Correctly folded and assembled proteins in the ER are packaged into COPII-coated transport vesicles that pinch off from the ER membrane. Shortly thereafter the coat is shed and the vesicles fuse with one another to form vesicular tubular clusters, which move on microtubule tracks to the Golgi apparatus.
