GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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 can be thought of as similar to a post office; it packages and labels “items” and then sends them to different parts of the cell. Both plant and animal cells have a Golgi apparatus.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Proteins are created in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is another organelle found in the cell. Once proteins are made, they are then sent to the Golgi apparatus for packing. During this packaging process, the Golgi apparatus encloses proteins in a vesicle, which is a membrane-like sac.

Detailed explanation-5: -Figure 1: The Golgi apparatus modifies and sorts proteins for transport throughout the cell. The Golgi apparatus is often found in close proximity to the ER in cells.
