A cell biologist has developed a new drug that will block the cis face of the Golgi apparatus.If eventually approved by the FDA,she wants to use this new drug to aid cancer patients.What specifically will this drug prevent from happening inside a cancer cell?
A)the synthesis of proteins or lipids on the endoplasmic reticulum
B)the movement of the lipids and proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus
C)the blockage of proteins and lipids on the endoplasmic reticulum
D)the prevention of ATP synthesis by blocking pyruvate formation on the trans face of the Golgi apparatus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cis face of the Golgi apparatus is responsible for receiving and modifying proteins and lipids that have been synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum. Blocking the cis face of the Golgi apparatus would prevent the movement of these proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi, which would disrupt many cellular processes. In cancer cells, this disruption could potentially inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells.
