A newly synthesized protein destined for secretion from a eukaryotic cell will generally follow which of the pathways listed below?
A) rough ER → Golgi → transport vesicle → nucleus
B) Golgi → rough ER → lysosome → transport vesicle → plasma membrane
C) rough ER → Golgi → transport vesicle → plasma membrane
D) rough ER → lysosome → transport vesicle → plasma membrane

Question

The correct pathway for a newly synthesized protein destined for secretion from a eukaryotic cell is from the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is synthesized, to the Golgi apparatus for processing, then packaged into a transport vesicle that fuses with the plasma membrane to secrete the protein outside the cell.
