What is the golgi apparatus?
A
Is the “post office”, delivers molecules around the cell, outside, or stores them for later
B
Part of the cell wall that regulates temperature
C
The plasma inside the cell
D
Center of the cell that holds chromosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. 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. Named after its discoverer, Camillo Golgi, the Golgi body appears as a series of stacked membranes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi apparatus is known as the post office of the cell. It is responsible for packaging, modification and transport of proteins. Linear proteins formed in the endoplasmic reticulum are packaged into vesicles and transported to the golgi apparatus.

Detailed explanation-3: -3. Golgi bodies use EXOCYTOSIS to release molecules outside the cell. 4. DIFFUSIONmoves oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration across membranes.

Detailed explanation-4: -In this respect, the Golgi can be thought of as similar to a post office: it packages and labels items which it then sends to different parts of the cell or to the extracellular space. The Golgi apparatus is also involved in lipid transport and lysosome formation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Golgi apparatus (also known as Golgi complex or Golgi body) are found in most eukaryotic cells (cells that have a nucleus). Its nickname is the cell’s post office because it is responsible for the sorting and packaging of proteins and putting them in vesicles for secretion outside of the cell.
