A protein in the lumen of the ER is synthesized by ribosomes on the ER membrane. Some of the proteins in the lumen of the ER can end up in the extracellular space. Some of the proteins in the lumen of the ER can end up in the lumen of an organelle in the endomembrane system.

- Which statement about the cytoskeleton is incorrect? Microtubules are hollow tubes of protein that provide structural support. Plant cells lack a cytoskeleton because they have a rigid cell wall. Intermediate filaments are more permanent structures in cells compared to microfilaments and microtubules. Microfilaments are chains of proteins that resist stretching. Components of the cytoskeleton are often involved with movement of organelles within the cytoplasm.arrow_forwardThis organelle allows molecules to enter and leave the cell. Also, supports and protects the cell O cytoskeleton cell membrane spindle fibers cell wallarrow_forwardWhich statements correctly describe the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER)? It has ribosomes bound to its membrane. It synthesizes proteins that will be sent out of the cell. It stores and releases calcium ions. It is connected to the membrane of the nucleus. It is used to transport mRNA to the cell membrane.arrow_forward
