Question

Which of the following would most directly increase the amount of constitutive protein secretion?

a) a chemical that increases the formation of COPI-coated vesicles
b) a chemical that increases the formation of COPII-coated vesicles
c) a chemical that increases the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles
d) a chemical that increases the formation of ESCRT-0

Answer 1

The chemical that would most directly increase the amount of constitutive protein secretion is a chemical that increases the formation of COPII-coated vesicles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Constitutive protein secretion refers to the continuous release of proteins from the cell without the need for a specific signal. To increase the amount of constitutive protein secretion, you would need to increase the formation of secretory vesicles. In this case, the chemical that would most directly increase the amount of constitutive protein secretion is option b) a chemical that increases the formation of COPII-coated vesicles.
