The organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion is the:
A. Rough ER
B. Golgi apparatus
C. Mitochondria
D. Lysosome
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The Golgi apparatus receives proteins from the rough ER, modifies them (e.g., glycosylation), sorts them, and packages them into vesicles for transport to the plasma membrane, lysosomes, or secretion. Lysosomes digest, rough ER synthesizes proteins, mitochondria generate ATP.

Question #1
The organelle that contains enzymes for intracellular digestion is the:
A. Chloroplast
B. Lysosome
C. Peroxisome
D. Mitochondria

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles packed with hydrolytic enzymes (proteases, lipases, nucleases) that digest macromolecules, old organelles, and engulfed pathogens. They maintain an acidic pH (about 5.0) for optimal enzyme activity. Peroxisomes detoxify peroxides, mitochondria generate ATP, chloroplasts perform photosynthesis.

Question #2
Consider the following statements about the greenhouse effect:
1. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere.
2. CO₂, methane, and water vapor are greenhouse gases.
3. The greenhouse effect is solely harmful.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 1, 2, and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The natural greenhouse effect keeps Earth warm enough for life; its enhancement causes global warming. Statement 3 is incorrect. 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
In which phase of mitosis do chromosomes become visible and the nucleolus disappears?
A. Interphase
B. Telophase
C. Metaphase
D. Prophase

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nucleolus fades, and the mitotic spindle begins to form. In metaphase chromosomes align, in telophase they decondense and the nucleolus reappears. Interphase is not a mitotic phase.
