Question

question 1 of 10
there are several organelles that work together to build, modify, and transport proteins around the cell. these organelles can also make proteins that are sent outside to other cells. one of these organelles is the golgi body. if the golgi body of a cell becomes nonfunctional, which of the following do you predict will happen?

a. translation of mrna will become inhibited.
b. proteins will no longer be assembled.
c. newly formed proteins will not be transported for packaging.
d. modification and distribution of proteins in vesicles will stop.

Explanation:

The Golgi body modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into vesicles for distribution. If it's nonfunctional, these processes (modification and distribution in vesicles) would stop. Translation (A) occurs at ribosomes. Protein assembly (B) is mainly ribosomes' job. Newly - formed proteins are transported to the Golgi (not packaged there first as in C).

Answer:

D. Modification and distribution of proteins in vesicles will stop.
