Based on the model, the newly synthesized protein is transported directly from the endoplasmic reticulum to which of the following?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the intracellular transport process of a newly synthesized protein, specifically from the endoplasmic reticulum to another cellular structure, based on a provided model.
Answer
The Golgi complex
The protein is transported directly from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex.
Answer for screen readers
The protein is transported directly from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex.
More Information
After proteins are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum, they are typically transported to the Golgi apparatus for further modification and sorting.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse the direct path from the ER to other organelles like the plasma membrane, while the Golgi is typically the first stop.
