Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diagram shows ribosomes involved in protein synthesis, which suggests that the cell is modifying and releasing a cellular protein. Choice A is incorrect because there is no indication of the cell undergoing cell respiration. Choice B is incorrect because there is no replication of DNA shown in the diagram. Choice C is incorrect because there is no indication of phagocytosis. Choice E is incorrect because there is no indication of active transport.
