Question

What are the two faces of Golgi bodies ?
List their function

Answer 1

Answer:

A Golgi apparatus is composed of flat sacs known as cisternae. The sacs are stacked in a bent, semicircular shape. Each stacked grouping has a membrane that separates its insides from the cell's cytoplasm. Golgi membrane protein interactions are responsible for its unique shape.

The Golgi apparatus is an organelle present in most eukaryotic cells. It is made up of membrane-bound sacs, and is also called a Golgi body, Golgi complex, or dictyosome. The job of the Golgi apparatus is to process and bundle macromolecules like proteins and lipids as they are synthesized within the cell.

Answer 2

Answer:

The two faces of Golgi bodies are: cis face and trans face.

Explanation:

• There are two unique faces or endpoints to each Golgi stack.
• The trans face of a Golgi stack is where substances escape in the form of smaller unattached vesicles, while the cis face is the end of the organelle where substances enter from the endoplasmic reticulum for processing.
• As a result, the trans face is located close to the cell's plasma membrane, where many of the chemicals it changes are transported, and the cis face is located close to the endoplasmic reticulum, from which the majority of the material it receives originates. Each face has a unique chemical composition, and the lumens (inner open areas) of the cisternae between the faces contain particular enzymes.
