A scientist was studying the production of a protein that was released by an animal cell into a culture medium. She found that the protein only appeared in the culture medium after she added a few drops of a hormone to the cell. Before adding the hormone, she labelled the protein inside the cell with a fluorescent dye and looked at the cell under the light microscope. The dye was seen in flattered sheets and tube-like structures throughout the cell, and in stacks of flattened sac-like structures. After adding the hormone, the dye was also seen as small dots clustered against the cell membrane. Which statement most likely explains these observations?
- The hormone stimulates protein synthesis in the cell vacuole, the protein is then passed to the Golgi apparatus, and eventually passes through the cell membrane by passive diffusion
- The hormone triggers the synthesis of the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum and it is then secreted outside of the cell via channel proteins in the cell membrane
- The protein is made in the endoplasmic reticulum, is passed to the Golgi apparatus and is secreted through hormone-stimulated exocytosis
- The protein is made in the Golgi apparatus is passed to the endoplasmic reticulum and is secreted through hormone-stimulated pinocytosis

- Glycocalyx

- Plants
- All of the above
