Question

evaluate how disrupting the golgi apparatus would affect cell function. what would be the most significant consequence?
a. immediate cell death
b. disruption of protein modification and sorting pathways
c. enhanced cell division
d. improved protein synthesis

Explanation:

The Golgi apparatus is involved in protein modification and sorting. Disrupting it would directly affect these pathways. Protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes (not affected by Golgi disruption, so D is wrong). Cell death (A) is too extreme immediately. Cell division (C) is not the most direct consequence related to Golgi's main function of protein processing.

Answer:

B. Disruption of protein modification and sorting pathways
