question 8 (1 point)
julius and shuford are always trying to outdo each other, and both usually end up with minor injuries that require their skin cells to export a lot of proteins to make more of the natural dragon armor. which organelles would be found in great abundance in their skin cells?

a golgi apparatus, vesicles, cytoskeleton, and mitochondria
b rough er, ribosomes, golgi apparatus, and vesicles
c ribosomes, nucleus, cytoplasm, and lysosomes
d smooth er, ribosomes, golgi apparatus, and vacuoles

Explanation:

To export proteins (like for the "dragon armor"), cells need organelles for protein synthesis (ribosomes on rough ER), processing (Golgi apparatus), and transport (vesicles). Option b has rough ER (protein synthesis), ribosomes (make proteins), Golgi (process), and vesicles (transport). Other options include irrelevant organelles (e.g., cytoskeleton, lysosomes, vacuoles) or wrong ER (smooth ER for lipids, not proteins).

Answer:

b. rough ER, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, and vesicles
