Question

Describe the pathway of the protein hormone insulin from its gene to its export from a cell of your pancreas.

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following organelles is involved in the final processing and secretion of extra cellular proteins. Now let's go over answer choices to determine which of these organelles is actually going to be doing this function. Let's begin by answer choice A the rivals. Um remember that the main function of the ribosome is a translation or the synthesis of proteins. So it is not really going to be packaging and secreting proteins is going to be creating them. So we're going to cancel it out. Then we have the nucleus. Remember that the function of the nucleus is to store the DNA or the genetic information of the cell. So we're going to cancel this out as well. Then we have this move end of plasma in particular whose function is going to be the synthesis of certain lipids. Remember that here we're dealing with proteins. So again, this is not going to be our correct answer choice and we're going to cancel it out. And this all leaves us with answer choice. The Golgi apparatus which function is going to be the processing answer christian of extra cellular proteins. It's like a packaging unit because of this, it is going to be our correct answer choice and we will highlight it. This is the end of the video and I really hope this helped you
