6.
Of the following, which is probably the most common route for membrane
flow in the endomembrane system?
a) Golgi → lysosome → ER → plasma membrane
b) tonoplast → plasma membrane → nuclear envelope → smooth ER
c) nuclear envelope → lysosome → Golgi → plasma membrane
d) rough ER → vesicles → Golgi → plasma membrane
e) ER → chloroplasts → mitochondrion → cell membrane
7.
Cells of the pancreas will incorporate radioactively labeled amino acids into
proteins. This “tagging” of newly synthesized proteins enables a researcher
to track the location of these proteins in a cell. In this case, we are tracking
an enzyme that is eventually secreted by pancreatic cells. Which of the
following is the most likely pathway for movement of this protein in the
cell? *
a) ER → Golgi → nucleus
b) Golgi → ER → lysosome
c) nucleus → ER → Golgi
d) ER → Golgi → vesicles that fuse with plasma membrane
e) ER → lysosomes → vesicles that fuse with plasma membrane
8.
Which type of cell would probably provide the best opportunity to study
lysosomes?
a) muscle cell
b) nerve cell
c) phagocytic white blood cell
d) leaf cell of a plant
e) bacterial cell
