Question

Protein secretion is a complex process that involves multiple activities and subcellular compartments. Place the following in the correct order of action in the process of protein secretion:
1. the Golgi apparatus,
2. the plasma membrane,
3. ribosomes,
4. transport vesicles,
5. the endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct order is - 3. ribosomes 5. the endoplasmic reticulum 1. the Golgi apparatus. 4. transport vesicles. 2. the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

The protein needs to be transported from the cytoplasm to out of the cells for their target site, for example, insulin and enzymes. The protein synthesizes at the ribosome by the process of translation. It transported to the endoplasmic reticulum and move to the Golgi apparatus where it packaged and modified in the transport vesicles so it can move to, and pass through the plasma membrane.

Thus, the correct order is - 3. ribosomes 5. the endoplasmic reticulum 1. the Golgi apparatus. 4. transport vesicles. 2. the plasma membrane.
