Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of density gradient centrifugation in the context of relaxation-contraction coupling?

  • Transporting proteins to the Golgi apparatus
  • Separating rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) from smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) (correct)
  • Isolating proteins synthesized on free ribosomes
  • Directing proteins to appropriate locations via signal sequences

Where are proteins synthesized on membrane-bound ribosomes translocated while their translation is in progress?

  • Nucleus
  • Chloroplasts
  • Mitochondria
  • Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (correct)

What is the function of targeting proteins to ER signal sequences?

  • Transporting proteins to lysosomes
  • Directing the protein to appropriate location and removed after transport (correct)
  • Isolating proteins synthesized on free ribosomes
  • Separating rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) from smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
