Which of the following statements is FALSE?

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

a. Proteins destined to become plasma membrane proteins are

made by attached ribosomes.

b. Membrane phospholipid components in the cell are made by

the endoplasmic reticulum.

c. The Golgi apparatus is made up of a series of membrane-

enclosed compartments that are connected and modify all proteins in the same manner.

d. Vesicles carry certain proteins from the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and move them to the Golgi and some of these proteins modify other proteins there in the Golgi.

e. Lysosomes are organelles where proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are degraded to subunits.

Answer 1

Choice c) is incorrect. The Golgi is not continuous but made of a series of stacked compartments. Also, proteins are modified in so many DIFFERENT ways by the Golgi (ie, phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, etc.)

Everything else are true statements. Hope this helps!
