CELL ORGANELLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When this organelle fails, a set of smaller, grain-shaped organelles has difficulty producing proteins and being transported around the cell. Which organelle is being described?
A
Cell Wall
B
Mitochondria
C
Endoplasmic Reticulum
D
Nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle whose primary function is protein synthesis and folding [1].

Detailed explanation-2: -ribosome – A small grain-like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-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.
