In animal cells, which of the following represents the most likely pathway that a secretory protein takes as it is synthesized in a cell? Correct Answer Ribosome–rough ER–Golgi apparatus–secretory vesicle–plasma membrane

D Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis. Therefore, the correct answer should start with ribosome. So eliminate and (C). The polypeptide then moves through the rough ER to the Golgi apparatus, where it is modified and packaged into a vesicle. The vesicle then floats to the plasma membrane and is secreted. Choice (D) is your answer.
