Question

↑ 1.1.2 quiz: cell structure and function the figure below shows a cross section of an animal cell. which numerical label corresponds to the organelle that provides a means for isolating and transporting newly synthesized proteins? click here for long description

Explanation:

The endoplasmic reticulum is the organelle that provides a means for isolating and transporting newly - synthesized proteins. In animal cells, the rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to its surface which synthesize proteins, and then the proteins are transported within the ER lumen. Looking at the cell diagram, the endoplasmic reticulum is typically a network of membranes.

Answer:

The organelle is usually labeled as 16 in typical animal - cell diagrams (assuming standard labeling where 16 corresponds to the endoplasmic reticulum).
