Why is the Golgi apparatus is called the secretary organelle of the cell ?enlist the significance of golgi apparatus?
Answers
Answer:
The 'Golgi apparatus' is called as the secretory organ of the cell because it packages and transports materials in an 'out of the cell'. The Golgi apparatus serves as an important organelle of the protein transport machinery of the cell. It has been likened to the cell's post office. A major function is the modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. It is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes. The sacs or folds of the Golgi apparatus are called cisternae.
Explanation:
This is because it packages material synthesised in the ER and dispatches it to intracellular (plasma membrane and lysosomes) and extracellular (cell surface) targets.
(i) The main function of Golgi apparatus is to carry out the processing of proteins generated in endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus also transports protein to the different parts of cell.
(ii) The Golgi enzymes present in membranous disks of cisternae carry out the modification of cargo proteins. Modification of various substances is carried out by enzymes in cisternae with the help of processes like phosphorylation and glycosylation
