The correct sequence of organelles for the export of a protein from the cell is:

Ribosome → Rough ER → Vesicle → Golgi Apparatus → Vesicle → Cell Membrane

This pathway reflects the process where proteins are synthesized on ribosomes, enter the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for folding and modification, are packaged into vesicles, sent to the Golgi apparatus for further processing, and finally transported to the cell membrane for secretion.
