Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	endoplasmic reticulum
B	vacuole
C	golgi apparatus
D	chloroplast

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion. In addition, as noted earlier, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release from the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and lipids (fats) from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It modifies some of them and sorts, concentrates and packs them into sealed droplets called vesicles.

Detailed explanation-4: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a key role in the modification of proteins and the synthesis of lipids. It consists of a network of membranous tubules and flattened sacs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Golgi body has main function of modifying, sorting and packaging the proteins, which are synthesized by cells coming from the endoplasmic reticulum.
