Kelly’s teacher asked the class to explain how the rough endoplasmic reticulum works with the nucleus to maintain homeostasis. Which student’s statement is BEST evaluated by the claim and why? * Kelly explained that pathogens can enter the nucleus through the nuclear membrane and that the rough endoplasmic reticulum sends messages in the form of enzymes to the nucleus to destroy them.

Jacob explained that when problems arise in protein synthesis the rough endoplasmic reticulum can signal the nucleus to regulate the production of proteins.

Kevin explained that the nucleus synthesizes lipids and sends them to the rough endoplasmic reticulum, where the lipids are packaged and sent out to the cell.

Sarah explained that the nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear membrane that can be damaged by lysosomes and the rough endoplasmic reticulum moves along the membrane to repair it.
