A protein is made and inserted into the membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. A binding site that is present in this protein is aligned so that it faces the lumen of the ER. If this protein is then moved to other endomembranes, at which surface of the membranes given below is this binding site unlikely to be found? A. the internal face of the Golgi apparatus membranes B. the internal face of a lysosome membrane C. facing the intermembrane space of the nuclear envelope membranes D. the lumen face of a vesicle just derived from the Golgi apparatus E. the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane

A transmembrane protein begins with its N-terminus in the cytosol and its C-terminus in the ER lumen. Vesicular trafficking carries the protein to the Golgi, to the plasma membrane, back to an endosome, and back to the plasma membrane. Where is the C-terminus? a. It was secreted along with the rest of the protein and is diffusing away from the cell b. It is in the plasma membrane, but it has 50% probability of being in either orientation c. It is at the extracellular surface of the cell d. It is at the cytosolic surface of the plasma membrane

Proteins destined for extracellular release are packaged in specific vesicles. After packaging, the vesicles bud off and are stored in the cell until a signal is given for their release. When the appropriate signal is received, they move towards the membrane and fuse to release their contents. Once proteins have been produced at the ribosomes, what two organelles work together to aid in the secretion process described above? A) ribosome and ER B) Golgi apparatus and rough ER C) Golgi apparatus and lysosome D) mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum
