Question
You are studying a cell that specialises in the production of proteins. What could you most likely conclude about this cell?Question 17Select one:a.There would be small amounts of ribosomes embedded in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.b.There would be large amounts of mitochondria.c.There would be large amounts of smooth endoplasmic reticulum.d.There would be large amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Solution
The most likely conclusion about a cell that specializes in the production of proteins is that there would be large amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum (option d).
Here's why:
-
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is so named because it has ribosomes attached to its surface. The ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.
-
When a cell is specialized in protein production, it means it has a high rate of protein synthesis. Therefore, it needs a lot of ribosomes and a place for these ribosomes to sit and do their job, which is the RER.
-
The RER also plays a role in the initial folding and modification of these proteins, further emphasizing its importance in a cell specialized in protein production.
So, a cell specialized in protein production would likely have large amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum.
