Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle is responsible for packaging and modifying molecules to be secreted out of a cell?
A
Ribosome
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Endoplasmic reticulum
D
Lysosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Golgi Body A Golgi body, also known as a Golgi apparatus, is a cell organelle that helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -After synthesis and translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum, proteins are exported to the Golgi apparatus, a multi-compartment organelle that is the protein modifying, packaging and distribution center of the secretory pathway.

Detailed explanation-4: -So the correct option is ‘Lysosome’.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
