The diagram below shows a particular organelle found in eukaryotic cells. If the organelle shown was nonfunctional within a eukaryotic cell, which homeostatic mechanisms of the cell would be MOST directly impacted? A. Cell division, movement of organelle and maintenance of cell shape by the cytoskeleton
B. The packaging and distribution of proteins and phospholipids from the endoplasmic reticulum
C. The production of mRNA in the nucleus and translation of mRNA into proteins on ribosomes
D. The release of energy, carbon dioxide and water by mitochondria from the metabolism of glucose and oxygen

The correct answer is - option B. The packaging and distribution of proteins and phospholipids from the endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

The given diagram is the diagram of the Endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is a system of the continuous membrane that makes a series of flattened comportments or sacs made up of two subunits, which acts as a critical site for various functions in the cell.

The major roles of the endoplasmic reticulum in protein synthesis, protein folding, modification, and transport of proteins. If ER was nonfunctional within a eukaryotic cell, The packaging and distribution of proteins and phospholipids from the endoplasmic reticulum would be effected.
