Question
which organelle is responsible for processing and packaging proteins for export from the cell?
a) golgi apparatus
b) peroxisomes
c) lysosomes
d) endoplasmic reticulum
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion out of the cell or for use within the cell. Peroxisomes break down fatty acids and detoxify hydrogen - peroxide. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, but not primarily in the final processing and packaging for export like the Golgi apparatus.
