If proteins do not have the correct structure, they cannot function properly. Protein misfolding is a cellular malfunction that occurs when proteins do not properly get modified and folded into their correct 3D shape after they are initially synthesized.
Which of these cell structures is most likely responsible for protein misfolding?

NUCLEOUS
LYSOSOME
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
MITOCHONDRIA

Respuesta :

Histrionicus

Answer:

The correct answer is - ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

Explanation:

In the cell, all cell organelle performs a specific function. Protein synthesizes with the help of ribosomes then they are sent to the endoplasmic reticulum for folding the proteins to their correct form or shape before sending them to the Golgi body for packaging.

Protein folding is an important function performed by the ER and must be correctly folded into particular 3-D shapes in order to function correctly and if not correctly folded then degraded by lysosomes.
