Practice question
Question
A eukaryotic cell has extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum, a prominent Golgi apparatus and large, numerous nucleoli. Which conclusion is best supported by this combination?
Explanation
RER is abundant in cells involved in protein synthesis and secretion. The Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, while large and numerous nucleoli occur in cells actively carrying out protein synthesis because the nucleolus synthesises ribosomal RNA.
