C) Entirely different but interconnected
D) Entirely different and not interconnected​

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

entirely different but interconnected

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (C) Entirely different but interconnected

Explanation:

• The Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex was discovered by Italian histologist Camillo Golgi in 1898.

• Golgi apparatus is one of the cell organelles of the endomembrane system. It appears in the form of a parallelly arranged interconnecting system of a cluster of smooth membranes having a central stack of flattened sacs or cisternae.

• These Golgi cisternae are arranged concentrically near the nucleus. It has two distinct faces i.e.convex cis region or forming face and the concave trans region or the maturing face. Both the cis and trans faces of the Golgi apparatus are entirely different from each other but are interconnected.

• The Golgi apparatus principally is responsible for the processing, packaging, transport, and release of secretory proteins.

• The cis face is the initial packaging stage that receives the products (proteins, lipids) from ER and the trans face is the final phase performing the function to produce vesicles with mature proteins and lipids.

Hence the correct answer is option C).
