Which of the following best describes what happens after a protein is made in the endoplasmic reticulum of an animal cell?

it is sent to the golgi apparatus for further processing.

it attaches to a ribosome to be encoded and used in dna replication.

it is stored in the large central vacuole until it is needed by the cell.

it is released to the mitochondria to be broken down and used for energy.

The correct answer is option it is sent to the Golgi apparatus for further processing.

Explanation:

After the protein is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), post-translational modifications or biochemical modifications in amino acids takes place like acetylation, sumoylation, glucosylation and many others.

These modifications are important in a way that it helps in the folding of the proteins and importing it to other organelle and cellular structures. The site for modifications and protein trafficking is "Golgi Apparatus", a membrane-enclosed organelle with flattened sacs called cisternae.

So, the proteins after synthesis has to be sent to the Golgi apparatus for further processing is the correct answer.

Thus, sent to Golgi apparatus is the correct answer.

gold i'm pretty sure i might be wrong
