What is a transport company of a plant cell?

The transport company of a plant cell is the endoplasmic reticulum. It is responsible for transporting proteins and lipids within the cell, as well as for synthesizing and modifying these molecules. The endoplasmic reticulum plays a key role in maintaining the structure and function of the cell.


Where can you find endoplasmic reticulum?

It is found in a plant cell and in an animal cell.


What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum in an animal or plant cell?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for the synthesis, folding, and transport of proteins in a cell. It also plays a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs and other substances. In plant cells, the ER is involved in the synthesis of molecules like lipids and certain hormones.


Which of the following is a function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

One function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is to produce and transport proteins. It has ribosomes attached to its surface that synthesize proteins, which are then folded and modified within the endoplasmic reticulum before being transported to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.


What is a surface for chemical activity in a cell?

A surface for chemical activity in a cell is typically a membrane-bound compartment, such as the cell membrane or organelle membranes like the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria. These surfaces provide specific environments for enzymes and other molecules to interact, allowing for crucial cellular processes like signaling, metabolism, and transport to occur efficiently.
