Question

Functions of Golgi Complex and Lysosomes
What are the functions of Golgi Complex and Lysosomes?

Answer 1

golgi complex function:absorption of compound,formation of secretory vesicles,help in enzym formation,production of hormones,storage of protein,formation of cell wall

lysosomes function: intercellular digestion,removal of dead cell,role in metamorphosis,help in fertilization and protien synthesis

Answer 2

Golgi complex :

It is made up of 5-8 howllow and flat sacs placed parallel to each other. These sacs are called 'cristernae'and are filled with different enzymes. The proteins coming for Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are enclosed in vesicles, which come towards Golgi complex via cytoplasm. They fuse with formation face of the Golgi membranes and empty their contents in the cirstenae.

As they pass through the cisternae, they are chemically modified with the help of enzymes. They are again packed in the vesicles exit from the maturation face. Thus, cisternae work like like a packing department that packs and distributes. substances.

Functions:

1. Golgi complex is the secretory organ of the cell.
2. It modifies, sorts and packs materials synthesized in the cell (enzymes,mucus,protiens,pigmentd,etc) and dispatches them to various targets like plasma membrane, lysosome, etc.
3. It produces vacuoles and secretory vesicles.
4. It helps in the formation of cell wall, plasma membrane and lysosmes.
