Compare organelles, which one modifies sorts and packages protein for secretion? One lysome two rabiosome, three vacuole for goigi apparatus

1 answer

The organelle responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion is the Golgi apparatus.

Here's a brief explanation of each option mentioned:

  1. Lysosome: This organelle contains enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris. It is primarily involved in digestion and recycling of cellular components rather than processing and packaging proteins.

  2. Ribosome: Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, where amino acids are assembled into proteins. They do not modify, sort, or package proteins.

  3. Vacuole: Vacuoles are storage organelles that can hold various substances, including nutrients and waste products. In plant cells, they can also help maintain turgor pressure, but they do not modify or package proteins.

  4. Golgi apparatus: The Golgi apparatus (or Golgi body) is the correct answer. It receives proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them (such as adding sugar groups), sorts them, and packages them into vesicles for secretion outside the cell or for delivery to other organelles.

Therefore, the correct answer is the Golgi apparatus.
