You inject a dye into a eukaryotic cell to detect a specific functional enzyme in the cytosol.Where would you need to inject the dye and what function might the enzyme have?
A)You would have to inject the dye into the membrane of the rough ER;the enzyme's function could be synthesis of lipids.
B)The dye would go between the plasma membrane and membrane of the organelles;the enzyme may be associated with glycolysis.
C)Injection of the dye must occur in the inner membrane space of the mitochondria;the enzyme may be part of the electron transport chain.
D)The Golgi apparatus holds the cytosol,and therefore the dye must be injected there;the enzyme may assist with protein packaging.

Injecting the dye between the plasma membrane and the membrane of the organelles would allow it to diffuse throughout the cytosol. An enzyme associated with glycolysis would be located in the cytosol, making this the most likely location to detect its activity.
