Question

Choose the correct combination of organelles which work closely for the manufacturing and packaging of proteins.

• A. Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus
• B. Endoplasmic reticulum and Mitochondria
• C. Golgi apparatus and Lysosomes
• D. Vacuoles and Golgi apparatus

Answer 1

The correct option is A Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions as a manufacturing and packaging system. It works closely with the Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, and RNA.The Golgi apparatus is known as the post office of the cell. It is responsible for packaging, modification and transport of proteins. Linear proteins formed in the endoplasmic reticulum are packaged into vesicles and transported to the Golgi apparatus. Here, proteins are folded and other groups are added to the protein to make it functional. Once made functional, proteins are transported to their respective locations.
