A transmembrane protein in the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope would LEAST likely be found later in which one of the following cellular locations?
A)the plasma membrane
B)a lysosomal membrane
C)a mitochondrial membrane
D)the Golgi apparatus membrane
E)the rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transmembrane protein in the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope is specific to the nucleus and is not found in other organelles. Lysosomes (B), mitochondria (C), Golgi apparatus (D), and rough endoplasmic reticulum (E) are all membrane-bound organelles that are separate from the nucleus and would not have this specific transmembrane protein present. However, plasma membranes (A) are also composed of phospholipid bilayers, similar to the nuclear envelope, and some transmembrane proteins could potentially be present in both locations.
