Question

A cell with a predominance of rough endoplasmic reticulum is most likely ________. a cell with a predominance of rough endoplasmic reticulum is most likely ________. producing large quantities of carbohydrates for storage in the vacuole producing large quantities of proteins for secretion producing large quantities of proteins in the cytosol producing large quantities of carbohydrates to assemble an extensive cell wall matrix

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be: producing large quantities of proteins for secretion.

A cell with many rough endoplasmic reticulum has a high protein synthesis capability. This will make the cell able to produce many proteins like enzyme. One example of this type of cell will be pancreas cells. This cell will need many enzymes to digest food that you eat so it will need many ER to produce it.

Answer 2

A cell with a predominance of rough endoplasmic reticulum is most likely producing large quantities of proteins for secretion.

FURTHER EXPLANATION

The endoplasmic reticulum is the organelle which is responsible for the modification of proteins synthesized by the ribosomes and the production of lipids. There are two sections of the endoplasmic reticulum: rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is where the modification of proteins that will be transported out of the cell takes place. It is called “rough” because it looks like it is studded on its surface with ribosomes where proteins are synthesized. These proteins get modified in the rough endoplasmic reticulum through addition of side chains or folding. Phospholipids are also made in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These are important components of cellular membranes. All the modified proteins and phospholipids are transported out of the rough endoplasmic reticulum to their destinations via the vesicles.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum, meanwhile, is the site for carbohydrate, steroid and lipid synthesis. It is considered smooth because of the limited number or absence of ribosomes on its surface.

Producing large quantities of carbohydrates for storage in the vacuole

FALSE: carbohydrates synthesis is not a function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum; the rough endoplasmic reticulum modifies proteins that are for extracellular use.

Producing large quantities of proteins for secretion

TRUE: this is exactly what the rough endoplasmic reticulum does.

Producing large quantities of proteins in the cytosol

FALSE: protein synthesis happens in ribosomes which are floating on the cytosol; proteins on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum are transported outside the cell.

Large quantities of carbohydrates to assemble an extensive cell matrix

FALSE: carbohydrate synthesis is not a function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum
