Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for protein synthesis and export from the cell starts with the protein being synthesized on the ribosome as it migrates through the rough ER (4), then the protein folds into its functional shape (1), next it is packaged in a transport vesicle (3), and finally, the transport vesicle travels to the Golgi apparatus for further processing (2).
