What are the functions of golgi apparatus?
Answers
Answer:
Golgi Complex also termed as Golgi Apparatus. It is a membrane-bound organelle, which is mainly composed of a series of flattened, stacked pouches called cisternae. This cell organelle is primarily responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipid to targeted destinations. Golgi Apparatus is found within the cytoplasm of a cell and are present in both plant and animal cells.
Answer:
Functions
•The golgi apparatus modifies proteins and lipids that it receives from the endoplasmic reticulum. These biochemicals leave the golgi by exocytosis before being delivered to different intracellular or extracellular targets.
•Protein processing – carbohydrate regions of glycoproteins are altered by addition, removal or modification of carbohydrates.
•Lipid processing – adds phosphate groups and glycoproteins to lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum (such as cholesterol) to create the phospholipids that make up the cell membrane.
