Question

Which cell organelle is known as a packaging centre of the cell? And, why?

Answer 1

Answer →

Golgi apparatus is known as packaging center of the cell because it is responsible for packaging, storage, modification and condensation of mucus, hormones and enzymes.

Additional information →

• Gogli body is also known as kitchen of the cell.

• It is discovered by Camillo Golgi by black reaction method.

• It is also responsible in the formation of lysosomes.

• It forms the acrosome of sperm.

• Golgi apparatus is formed by Cisternae and vacuoles and vesicles.

• Golgi apparatus is present in all the Eukaryotic cells except Mammalian RBCs and mature sperms.

Answer 2

$\Large{\underline{\boxed{\mathfrak \orange{Golgi \: apparatus:-}}}}$

$\star$ Golgi apparatus is known as packaging centre of the cell because it acts as a way station or assembly area for the storage, processing and packaging of various cellular secretions.

$\star$ More about Golgi Apparatus :-

• Golgi apparatus consists of a set of membrane bounded, fluid filled vesicles, vacuoles and flattened cisternae.Cisternae are usually stacked together in parallel rows.
• Golgi apparatus is absent in bacteria,blue- green algae, mature sperms and red blood cells of mammals and other animals.
• The Golgi apparatus arises from the membrane of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum which in turn originate from the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
• The main function of Golgi apparatus is secretory. It packages material synthesized in the cell and dispatches them either to intracellular targets such as plasma membrane and lysosomes or extracellular targets.
• It provides Vacoules or Vesicles which contains cellular secretions. It is also involved in the synthesis of cell wall,plasma membrane and lysosomes
