Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What cell function would be affected if the Golgi apparatus is damaged?
A
Exporting Proteins
B
Storage of water and waste
C
Production of Energy
D
Cell divison
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes would not be generated in the absence of the Golgi apparatus, and the cell would eventually die as a result of the buildup of dead and damaged molecules and organelles. Materials would no longer be packaged or transported if the Golgi apparatus were absent. The cell’s secretory functions would also stop.

Detailed explanation-2: -Golgi apparatus membrane trafficking defects typically result in the accumulation of undegraded proteins, mislocalization of proteins, and impaired glycosylation of proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transport from the Golgi apparatus. Proteins are sorted in the trans Golgi network and transported in vesicles to their final destinations. In the absence of specific targeting signals, proteins are carried to the plasma membrane by constitutive secretion.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the absence of the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes would not be produced, and the accumulation of dead and damaged organelles and molecules in the cell would ultimately result in cell death.

Detailed explanation-5: -Without the Golgi bodies, the packaging and transport of proteins will not take place.
