CELL ORGANELLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The organelle responsible for processing and transporting proteins within the cell is
A
golgi apparatus
B
endoplasmic reticulum
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a dynamic organelle responsible for many cellular functions, including the synthesis of proteins and lipids, and regulation of intracellular calcium levels.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ER is the largest organelle in the cell and is a major site of protein synthesis and transport, protein folding, lipid and steroid synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism and calcium storage [1–7].
