The main organelle involved in modification and routing of newly synthesized proteins to their destinations is
chloroplast
mitochondria
lysosome
endoplasmic reticulum
Correct Answer :
D. endoplasmic reticulum
Endoplasmic reticulum bearing ribosomes on their surface is called rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). RER is involved in protein synthesis and are responsible for the assembly of many proteins (in a process called translation).

8.A student was given cell samples (A and B) to identify parts which are highlighted. He observed the samples under the microscope and list down the function of the part of cell sample. The information collected by the student is listed in the table below, on the basis of which the student infers that the samples contain the organelles.
| Sample A | Sample B |
|---|---|
| Make energy available for cellular metabolism | Generates ATP and synthes izes s ugar |
| Absent in cell that carry oxygen throughout the body | Present in plant cell |
| Called the energy currency of cell | Source o f all the food energy |
Identify the part highlighted in the sample A and B and explain why they were called as semi-autonomous organelles?
Sample A - Mitochondria, Sample B - Chloroplast; because both the organelles are double membrane bound structure.
Sample A- Mitochondria, Sample B - Chloroplast; because they both are capable of synthesis of their own proteins only.
Sample A - Mitochondria, Sample B - Chloroplast; because they are capable of synthesis of their own proteins and contain their own DNA.
Sample A- Mitochondria, Sample B - Chloroplast; because they contain their own DNA to transfer the genetic information from one generation to another.
