Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is studded with ribosomes, which are responsible for the synthesis of proteins. The proteins synthesized on the rough ER may be modified, folded, and transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they may be further modified and sorted for export out of the cell. Therefore, the rough ER is the site of synthesis of proteins that may be exported from the cell.
