Both the Rough ER and the Golgi modify proteins. Any idea what does what?


Sample question:

Protein Molecules may be modified by addition of sulfate, carbohydrate, or lipid groups to the side chains of certain amino acids. What cellular organelle does this?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Most post-translational modifications happen in the GA. However, RER is known to do some glycosylation.
The sample question would most fit the workings of the cellular organelle Golgi Apparatus.

Yes I agree with Johnny. When a question says 'lipid', that's a dead giveaway that it is Golgi. The RER does not do lipid........
