Question

The term "________" is used to describe movement of a protein from one compartment to another.
A) export
B) import
C) translocation
D) transport
E) secretion

Accepted Answer

Translocation refers to the movement of a protein from one compartment to another within a cell, such as from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, or from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Export, import, transport, and secretion all refer to different types of movement of molecules or substances, but do not specifically refer to movement of a protein from one compartment to another.
