Question
A damaged cell is unable to properly modify proteins after they are synthesized, which causes the proteins to misfold.Which of the following structures is most likely damaged in the cell?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A) ChloroplastAChloroplast(Choice B, Checked) Endoplasmic reticulumBEndoplasmic reticulum(Choice C) RibosomeCRibosome(Choice D) MitochondrionDMitochondrion
Solution
The correct answer is (Choice B) Endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle in the cell that is responsible for the modification of proteins after they are synthesized. If it is damaged, it could lead to the misfolding of proteins.
