Question

which of the following organelles typically receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum?
o mitochondrion
o chloroplast
o lysosome
o nucleus
o golgi apparatus

Explanation:

Proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum are transported to the Golgi apparatus for further processing, modification and packaging. The nucleus is the control - center of the cell and not directly involved in receiving proteins from the ER. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and are mainly for degradation. Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis in plant cells and not related to this protein - transport pathway. Mitochondria are for energy production and not the main recipient of ER - derived proteins.

Answer:

A. Golgi apparatus
