What organelle is responsible for packaging and distributing proteins?
the Golgi apparatus
Vesicles that contain newly made proteins move through the cytoplasm from the ER to an organelle called the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus is a set of flattened, membrane-bound sacs that serve as the packaging and distribution center of the cell.
Which organelle is responsible for modifying packaging and distributing molecules?
Sorting, tagging, packaging, and distribution of lipids and proteins takes place in the Golgi apparatus (also called the Golgi body), a series of flattened membranes.
Which organelle is involved in modification of proteins?
The Golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is a cellular organelle responsible for the modification and trafficking of proteins to other organelles such as the lysosome, the digestive organelle of the cell. Proteins translated within the rough endoplasmic reticulum are transferred to the Golgi.
What cellular organelle is responsible for modifying sorting and packaging proteins and lipids a ribosomes B Golgi bodies C mitochondria D endoplasmic reticulum?
The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the Endoplasmic Reticulum are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
Which items represents the part of a cell responsible for modifying protein and exporting it from the cell?
The Golgi apparatus is found close to the nucleus of the cell where it modifies proteins that have been delivered in transport vesicles from the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What are the three organelles involved in protein synthesis?
These include the nucleus, ribosomes, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, or the Golgi complex. All four work together to synthesize, package and process proteins. Protein synthesis begins with DNA.
How does the Golgi apparatus prepare a protein for export?
The Golgi apparatus is analogous to the finishing and packing room in a factory. Once the ribosome finishes manufacturing a protein in the rough ER, the protein needs to be prepared for use or export. Special enzymes will trim off any extra amino acids, and then the unfinished protein moves through channels in the smooth ER.
Which is part of the body synthesizes proteins?
These include the nucleus, ribosomes, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, or the Golgi complex. All four work together to synthesize, package and process proteins.
What are the functions of membrane bound organelles?
A type of organelle found in both animal cells and plant cells, a peroxisome is a membrane-bound cellular organelle that contains mostly enzymes. Peroxisomes perform important functions, including lipid metabolism and chemical detoxification. They also carry out oxidation reactions that break down fatty acids and amino acids.
