Question

glycoproteins are found on the surface of cell membranes. if a cell is lacking glycoproteins on its surface, which two organelles are malfunctioning? select all that apply lysosomes endoplasmic reticulum centrioles golgi apparatus

Explanation:

Glycoproteins are proteins with carbohydrate groups attached. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in protein synthesis (including the initial steps for glycoproteins), and the Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins (including adding or processing carbohydrate groups for glycoproteins). Lysosomes are for digestion, and centrioles are for cell division, so they don't relate to glycoprotein production/processing. So the malfunctioning organelles are Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

Answer:

B. Endoplasmic reticulum, D. Golgi apparatus
