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 which location the newly synthesized protein is transported to directly from the endoplasmic reticulum, based on a model depicted in the provided figure. It assesses the understanding of the intracellular transport mechanism related to protein synthesis and secretion.
Answer
The Golgi complex
Based on the model, the newly synthesized protein is transported directly from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex.
Answer for screen readers
Based on the model, the newly synthesized protein is transported directly from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex.
More Information
The Golgi complex is the next destination for newly synthesized proteins from the ER, where they are further modified, sorted, and packaged for transport to their next destination.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse the sequence of protein transport through the cell organelles.
