The cell organelle that transports materials within a cell is the:
A)Golgi apparatus
B)endoplasmic reticulum
C)mitochondrion
D)ribosome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for transport of materials within a cell. It is a network of tubules and flattened sacs that extend throughout the cytoplasm, connecting the nuclear envelope to the cell membrane. The ER is important for the synthesis, modification, and transport of proteins and lipids. The Golgi apparatus and mitochondria play roles in protein and lipid processing and energy production, respectively, but they are not primarily responsible for transport within the cell. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, but they do not transport materials within the cell.
