Which of the following are final destinations of proteins directed to the secretory pathway? ▼endoplasmic reticulum ▼mitochondria ▼the plasma membrane ▼the outside of the cell▼ the nucleus ▼the golgi apparatus ▼lysosomes A. TRUE B. FALSE

False, the final destination is the outside of the cell

Explanation:

The secretory pathway moves proteins to the cell membrane, where they are released to the extracellular medium. In this pathway, the proteins enter into the membrane of the rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in a cotranslationally way (i.e., during their synthesis in ribosomes). This pathway can be summarized by the following transporter activities: Endoplasmic Reticulum >> Golgi apparatus >> secretory vesicles (such as lysosomes) >> cell membrane, where proteins are finally released by exocytosis.
