Which of the following is a function of the Golgi apparatus?
A
storing genetic information
B
recycling waste products of the cell
C
providing a protective barrier
D
processing and storing proteins
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: -The Golgi apparatus is responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations. As the secretory proteins move through the Golgi apparatus, a number of chemical modifications may transpire.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘GA is involved in secretory protein synthesis’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transporting, altering, and packing proteins and lipids to specific locations are the main duties of this cell organelle. Both plant and animal cells contain the Golgi apparatus, which is located in the cytoplasm of a cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The golgi apparatus gathers simple molecules and combines them to make molecules that are more complex. It then takes those big molecules, packages them in vesicles, and either store them for later use or sends them out of the cell. This is why the golgi apparatus is often referred to as the “post office of the cell.”
