Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ ____ can be found in plant and animal cells, and receive proteins and materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them.
A
ER
B
Golgi Bodies
C
Cell Membrane
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Golgi body – A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -COPII-coated vesicles transport cargo proteins from the ER to the Golgi; COPI-coated vesicles transport cargo in the retrograde direction (from the cis-Golgi back to the ER) and between Golgi cisternae; and clathrin-coated vesicles form from the plasma membrane and the TGN to fuse with endosomes or lysosomes (Fig.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Golgi apparatus is found in all plant and animal cells and refers to groups of flattened disc-like structures near the endoplasmic reticulum. Animal cells have fewer but larger Golgi apparatuses. Plant cells can hold up to several hundred smaller versions.

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.
