<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>

Answer:

c. Proteins and lipids are made on the ER membrane and put in vesicles.

a. Vesicles containing proteins and lipids fuse with the Golgi bodies.

d. The Golgi bodies tag the molecules to signal their ultimate delivery.

b. Vesicles pinched off from the cristernae carry the molecule to its location.

Explanation:

Proteins are made by the ribosome machinery of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The proteins made need to be packaged before they are sent outside the cell to their location. If the proteins are not packaged and tagged, then they will be degraded by different enzymes present in the cell. So, the packaging of the proteins is done by the Golgi-complex. After packaging is done and tags are added to the proteins, the proteins move to the outside of the cell in vesicles.

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

First during protein synthesis, transcription occurs in the nucleus, followed by translation within ribosomes. Then, newly synthesized proteins enter endoplasmic reticulum where they undergo folding and modification. Next, within the golgi body, the proteins are tagged; after,they are finally parceled into lysosomes. Finally, they can be exported out of the cell to fulfill various functions.

Further Explanation:

The endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane system within the cytoplasm that extends from the outer nuclear membrane. Apart from increasing the surface area within the cell, this continuous system also carries out protein folding, synthesis and transport. In the endoplasmic reticulum or ER, some sections called the smooth ER, do not contain ribosomes, and may contain lipids, enzymes, and other proteins. Other sections bound to ribosomes, are called the rough Er. As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen. The proteins undergo major modifications and are packed into vesicles.

Golgi bodies are flat, disk-like membranous regions. Proteins traverse the organelle by first having their vesicles bind to the cis face or receiving end. Like a post office, the golgi complex, or golgi body recognizes specific signal sequences, targets and further modifies and packages these compounds into lysosomes for delivery to their final destination. Proteins here undergo peptide processing and glycosylation .
