Question

what is the specific function of each organelle involved in protein export complete this chart ( these are out of order )

Explanation:

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.
