question 8 (1 point)
julius and shulien are always trying to outdo each other, and both usually end up with minor injuries that require their skin cells to export a lot of proteins to make more of the natural dragon armor. which organelles would be found in greater abundance in their skin cells?

a. golgi apparatus, ribosomes, cytoskeleton, and mitochondria
b. rough er, ribosomes, golgi apparatus, and vesicles
c. ribosomes, nucleus, cytoplasm, and lysosomes
d. smooth er, ribosomes, golgi apparatus, and vacuoles

Explanation:

To determine the correct organelles, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Lysosomes are for digestion, not protein export. Ribosomes make proteins, but the other organelles don't fit export. Eliminate a.
• Option b: Rough ER (has ribosomes for protein synthesis), ribosomes (make proteins), Golgi apparatus (modifies/sorts proteins for export), and vesicles (transport proteins) are all involved in protein synthesis and export. This fits the need to export proteins for natural dragon armor (likely a protein - related structure).
• Option c: Centrioles are for cell division, not protein export. Eliminate c.
• Option d: Smooth ER is for lipid synthesis, not protein synthesis/export. Eliminate d.

Answer:

b. rough ER, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, and vesicles
