NGSS.HS-LS2-5

A cell needs to produce large amounts of protein for export. What organelles would work together to make this happen?

• Nucleus --> Ribosomes on ER --> Golgi --> plasma membrane

• Smooth ER --> Lysosomes

• Chloroplast and Mitochondria

• Ribosomes --> Nucleus --> Mitochondria

Why does the mitochondrion have a folded inner membrane?

• To store genetic material

• To increase surface area for energy production

• To protect the cell from toxins

• To allow materials to diffuse out of the cell
