Question

the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough er)
what would happen if the rough er in
the cell were destroyed by dr. vials
evil scheme?
a. the cell would be unable to
produce glucose.
b. the cell would no longer be able to
send proteins to the golgi.
c. the cell would not be able to make
enough atp through respiration.
d. the cell would not be able to make
lipids

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER):

• Option A: Glucose production is related to photosynthesis (in plants) or glycolysis, not Rough ER. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and transport. After proteins are made in Rough ER, they are sent to the Golgi apparatus. If Rough ER is destroyed, this transport would stop. This is correct.
• Option C: ATP production in respiration occurs in mitochondria, not Rough ER. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Lipid synthesis is mainly done by smooth ER, not rough ER. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. The cell would no longer be able to send proteins to the Golgi.
