The Golgi apparatus directs its protein products to the correct location in the cell based on
A) the specific molecule that is added and the molecule determines the destination in or out of the cell.
B) the DNA extending its long molecular helix to direct the protein through the Golgi apparatus and on to the final destination.
C) vesicles that constantly shuttle back and forth from the various cell destinations and these vesicles determine which protein in the Golgi apparatus to pick up and deliver.
D) proteins drifting away in all directions and are only used at the cell sites that need them.
E) how long it takes the vesicle to travel from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Golgi apparatus adds specific molecules, such as carbohydrates or lipids, to proteins that determine their final destination in or out of the cell. This process is known as post-translational modification and is critical for directing proteins to their correct location in the cell.
