Question
what is the specific function of each organelle involved in protein export complete this chart ( these are out of order )
Brief Explanations
- Ribosome: The site of protein synthesis. In a factory metaphor, it's like the workers assembling products.
- Golgi apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or delivery to other organelles. In a factory, it's like the shipping and receiving department.
- RER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum): Involved in protein synthesis (as ribosomes are attached to it) and initial protein folding. In a factory, it's like an assembly line with workers (ribosomes) attached.
- Cell Membrane: Allows the export of proteins out of the cell. In a factory, it's like the exit or delivery doors.
- Nucleus: Contains the DNA which has the genetic instructions (genes) for making proteins. In a factory, it's like the main office or control center with the blueprints.
