Detailed Solution
Proteins synthesised by ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum are modified in the cisternae of the golgi apparatus before they are released from its trans face. The golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials, to be delivered either to the intra-cellular targets or secreted outside the cell.Therefore, path of the protein from the site where polypeptides are made is as follows:RER→ Golgi →Plasma membrane
