A cell that was producing large amounts of lipoproteins (proteins combined with lipids) for secretion from the cell would have large numbers of
A) lysosomes.
B) Golgi apparatus.
C) centrioles.
D) membrane transporters.
E) all of these structures.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion from the cell. Therefore, a cell that produces large amounts of lipoproteins would likely have a large and active Golgi apparatus. A) Lysosomes are not directly involved in protein secretion. C) Centrioles are involved in cell division and not in protein secretion. D) Membrane transporters are involved in moving molecules across the cell membrane and are not directly related to protein secretion. E) All of these structures are present in many cell types, but only the Golgi apparatus is directly involved in protein secretion.
