The _________,which is found embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum,is a _______ protein.
A)SRP receptor…signal
B)ribosome…transmembrane pore
C)translocon…transmembrane pore
D)translocon…peripheral
E)ribosome…signal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The translocon is found embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum and functions as a protein-conducting channel. It allows for the movement of proteins from the ribosome, through the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and into the lumen. Therefore, choice C, which states that the translocon is a transmembrane protein, is the best choice. The other choices (A, B, D, and E) are incorrect because they either describe other components of the protein synthesis pathway (SRP receptor, ribosome) or do not accurately describe the translocon (peripheral).
