After being formed by the ribosomes located on the endoplasmic reticulum, what is the next organelle to which a protein could be transported?

a.mitochondria
b.smooth endoplasmic reticulum
c.golgi apparatus
d.nucleus

Golgii apparatus

golgi apparatus

c. golgi apparatus

After being formed by the ribosomes located on the endoplasmic reticulum, a protein can be transported to the Golgi apparatus.

To understand this, let's break down the process:

1. Ribosomes located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are responsible for synthesizing proteins.
2. After the protein is formed by the ribosomes, it may undergo modifications and folding within the lumen of the ER.
3. Once the protein is correctly folded, it needs to be transported to its final destination within the cell.
4. The next organelle in line to receive these proteins is the Golgi apparatus.

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing, modifying, and sorting proteins, as well as packaging them into vesicles for transportation to their specific destinations within or outside the cell. Therefore, option c. Golgi apparatus is the correct answer.
