After isolating the rough endoplasmic reticulum from the rest of the cytoplasm, you purify the RNAs attached to it. Which of the
following proteins do you expect the RNA from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to encode? a. soluble secreted proteins
b. ER membrane proteins
c. plasma membrane proteins
d. all of the above
The rough ER consists of ER membranes and polyribosomes that are in the process of translating and translocating proteins into the ER membrane and lumen. Thus, all proteins that end up in the lysosome, Golgi apparatus, or plasma membrane, or are secreted, will be encoded by the RNAs associated with the rough ER.
a lack of resources would most likely decrease a population size because it will limit growth and decrease survival rates. There will also be more competition.
