Cells synthesise a large number of different macromolecules required for life. The Golgi apparatus is integral in modifying, sorting, and packaging these substances for cell secretion (exocytosis) or for use within the cell. It primarily modifies proteins delivered from the rough endoplasmic reticulum, but is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosome. 

<span>Enzymes within the cisternae are able to modify substances by the addition of carbohydrates (glycosylation) and phosphate (phosphorylation) to them. Proteins are also labelled with a signal sequence of molecules which determine their final destination. For example, the Golgi apparatus adds a mannose-6-phosphate label to proteins destined for lysosomes. </span>

<span>Vesicles which leave the rough endoplasmic reticulum are transported to the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, where they fuse with the Golgi membrane and empty their contents into the lumen. Once inside they are modified, sorted, and shipped towards their final destination. As such, the Golgi apparatus tends to be more prominent and numerous in cells synthesising and secreting many substances: plasma B cells, the antibody-secreting cells of the immune system, have prominent Golgi complexes. </span>

<span>Once the proteins reach the trans face, they are placed into coated transport vesicles and bud off to reach their final destinations. The form of the vesicle is determined by the type of protein and the label it acquired.</span>

Ainat [17]
The answer is C.)sending them on the shuttle to be suspended in space. This is the answer because  after  the nuclear fuel rods come out of the reactor, they go into a deep pool to cool off. Then they are then stored in concrete and lead-lined casks for dry storage, until, ultimately, the US government builds a deep underground storage facility to house them permanently. They are never sent on the shuttle to be suspended in space<span>. It would be too costly and too dangerous.</span>

3. Given the inequality 4x + 5y 2 12, determine
Anika [276]

Answer:

x= 0, y = 2

Explanation:

4x + 5y +2 = 12

Let's suppose that

x = 0

y = 2

By putting the values of x and y

4(0) + 5( 2) + 2  = 12

0 + 10 + 2 = 12

12 = 12

Hence, it is proved that x = 0 and y = 2

What is needed in order to give the DNA polymerase a place to start copying DNA? How long is it? What puts it on?
zzz [600]

DNA polymerases add nucleotides to the 3′ end of a polynucleotide chain. ... To initiate this reaction, DNA polymerases require a primer with a free 3′-hydroxyl group already base-paired to the template. They cannot start from scratch by adding nucleotides to a free single-stranded DNA template.

How is DNA replicated? Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin.

What happens to the buoyant force of a submerged submarine when water is taken into its tanks and it dives?
Elina [12.6K]

The bouyant force is the capabilty that an object has of floating. Only things that are less dense than water can float on it.

When you bring water inside the submerged submarine nothing happens since the bouyant force only applies to things that float on the fluid we're taliking about.

Answer:

B.


Hope it helped,
