Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As proteins move through the Golgi complex, their carbohydrates may be modified by a series of enzymatic reactions. This can include the addition or removal of sugars or other carbohydrate molecules. Not all of the answer choices are correct - amino acids cannot be chemically altered into nucleic acids, and small segments of amino acids cannot be added into the center of an existing protein.
