A--> But i am not sure of explanationwink

  #5

a glycoslated protien could be secreted from cell. why not B?

  #6

Proteins made on Free ribosomes are targeted to the cytoplasm, and mitochondria.
Proteins that are made in the RER undergo post-translational modification and get glycosylated in the RER as well as the Golgi and go to:
1. Extracellular space (get secretd out of the cell)
2. Become a membrane protein (within the membrane like a channel, etc.)
3. Lysosomes (eg. Lysosomal enzymes)
* (Lysosomal enzymes will only go to Lysosomes if there is phosphorylation of mannose residues on the enzyme that takes place in the Golgi!) -If NO phospyorylation of mannose residues, then that enzyme gets secreted out of the cell! (I-Cell Disease)


Hence B.
