Correctly complete the following sentence
Signal Recognition Particles (SRP) enable ribosomes that are making proteins to dock with the endoplasmic
reticulum. A prokaryotic cell that doesn't make this SRP is likely to
Select one alternative:
be unable to produce proteins destined for the endomembrane system or secretion
be unable to secrete proteins
