Q252

Modification of proteins and packaging take place in

A.
Endoplasmic reticulum
B.
Cytosol
C.
Golgi bodies
Answer
D.
Nucleus

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Modification of proteins and packaging take place in Golgi bodies.
Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination. It resides at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways.
It is of particular importance in processing proteins for secretion, containing a set of glycosylation enzymes that attach various sugar monomers to proteins as the proteins move through the apparatus.
