E)rough endoplasmic reticulum

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Golgi body is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or transport to other parts of the cell.

Answer: E
 The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is studded with ribosomes that synthesize proteins. The ER is responsible for folding, modifying, and transporting proteins, including those intended for secretion. However, it specifically acts as the site of initial synthesis of secretory and membrane-bound proteins that are transported to the Golgi body for further processing and sorting.
