Question 21

Here are four key events in the synthesis, processing, and secretion of a glycoprotein in a eukaryotic cell:

  1. Transport vesicles containing the synthesized polypeptide bud off the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
  2. Secretory vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane to release the finished glycoprotein.
  3. Ribosomes dock on the rough endoplasmic reticulum to translate the mRNA into a polypeptide chain.
  4. The Golgi apparatus modifies the polypeptide by adding carbohydrate chains.

What is the correct chronological order of these events?

A

3→4→1→23 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 23→4→1→2

B

1→3→4→21 \rightarrow 3 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 21→3→4→2

C

3→1→4→23 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 23→1→4→2

D

3→1→2→43 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 43→1→2→4
