What component of the Golgi apparatus receives newly synthesized proteins from the Rough ER?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the Golgi apparatus and which specific component is responsible for receiving newly synthesized proteins from the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). The focus is on identifying the correct part among the options given.
Answer
cis Golgi compartment
The component of the Golgi apparatus that receives newly synthesized proteins from the Rough ER is the cis Golgi compartment.
Answer for screen readers
The component of the Golgi apparatus that receives newly synthesized proteins from the Rough ER is the cis Golgi compartment.
More Information
The cis Golgi compartment is the entry point for proteins newly synthesized at the rough ER. They arrive via transport vesicles carrying proteins from the rough ER to the cis face of the Golgi apparatus.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the cis Golgi compartment with the trans Golgi compartment, where sorting and packaging for final destination occurs.
