Increased protein consumption is a global trend. Chicken eggs are a good source of protein. Ovalbumin (egg white protein) is formed from chicken cells during egg production. Describe the role of organelles in the export of ovalbumin from a chicken's cells into an egg. (3 marks) --- 6 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) --- → The production, transport and exportation of ovalbumin requires energy, which is supplied via mitochondria within the cell. → After ovalbumin is made, the rough endoplasmic reticulum transports it to the Golgi, where it is packaged into vesicles. → The vesicles then fuse with the plasma membrane of the cell and the ovalbumin can be released from the cell via exocytosis into an egg. → The production, transport and exportation of ovalbumin requires energy, which is supplied via mitochondria within the cell. → After ovalbumin is made, the rough endoplasmic reticulum transports it to the Golgi, where it is packaged into vesicles. → The vesicles then fuse with the plasma membrane of the cell and the ovalbumin can be released from the cell via exocytosis into an egg.
