Explain the role of Golgi bodies in the process of fertilization
Answers
Golgi Bodies are responsible and essential for the development of acrosome of the sperm cell.
With the growth in size of acrosome, the Golgi Bodies get reduced in size and in many mature sperm cells, disappears entirely.
Acrosome is a membrane bound structure at the anterior end of the sperm cell and it appears to be involved in recognition and binding of the sperm cell to the surface of egg cell.
Acrosome contains hydrolytic enzymes and hyaluronidase is the most abundant.
Answer:
Explanation:
Golgi body or apparatus, also called Golgi complex, is membrane-bound organelle in nature and belongs to eukaryotic cells which are clearly defined as nuclei that are made up of a series of flat, stacked pouches like matter called cistern.
The Golgi body is responsible for transferring, modifying, and packaging of proteins and lipids into vesicles for the purpose of delivery to the desired destinations.
It is found in the cytoplasm next to the endoplasmic reticulum and is very close to the cell nucleus. While many kinds of cells contain only one or several Golgi apparatus, plant cells can have hundreds of cells.
