Question

Which of the following is not the function of Golgi
apparatus?
(1) Storage and packaging of products synthesised
in ER
(2) Formation of lysosomes
(3) Synthesis of complex sugars from simple
sugars
(4) Detoxification of drugs

Answer 1

The detoxification of drugs is not done by the Golgi apparatus.  

Storing and packaging of products synthesised in ER, the formation of lysosomes, and the synthesis of complex sugars from simple sugars are all some of the functions that are performed by the Golgi apparatus.  

The Golgi apparatus is sometimes compared to a post office.

Answer 2

The correct option for the Golgi apparatus is (4) Detoxification of drugs.

• Detoxification of drugs is done by the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
• ER synthesis of various products necessary for the proper functioning of cells which is stored and packaged in the Golgi apparatus.
• Golgi apparatus is also involved in the formation of lysosomes.
• Sugars undergo modification to form complex sugars which are done by the Golgi apparatus.
• It is also involved in transportation and secretion.
