Question 15
15.
If the cell was a factory, what organelle would be where the products are packaged and tagged with information to get them correctly their final destination (either somewhere in the factory or for export)?

Question 16
16.
Put the cell parts in order for when a cell needs to make a protein
protein package into vesicle goes from RER to Golgi Apparatus
nucleus/DNA - mRNA copied from DNA (gene)
Final protein in vesicle goes from Golgi Apparatus to cell membrane or another organelle inside the cell
mRNA goes to ribosome/endoplasmic recticulum (rough endoplasmic reticulum - RER)
protein folds into specific 3D shape inside RER inner space
Golgi Apparatus - protein moves through and gets modified/packaged into final form
