Three different proteins ( X , Y and Z ) that are known to be transported from the cytoplasm into different organelles were studied. Protein X was found to be localized in the matrix of mitochondria, protein Y inside the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum and protein Z in the nucleoplasm. Based on this information, the correct option is

Options

  1. AWhile X and Z have to cross two bilayers, Y has to cross one bilayer.
  2. BWhile X and Y have to cross two bilayers, Z has to cross one bilayer.
  3. CAll the three proteins X , Y and Z have to cross two bilayers.
  4. DWhile Y and Z have to cross two bilayers, X has to cross one bilayer.
