Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the function of the Golgi Body?
A
movement
B
houses digestive enzymes
C
houses the cell’s DNA
D
packages proteins for transport out of the cell
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. In addition, as noted earlier, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -The function of the Golgi apparatus is processing and packaging proteins that have exited the rough endoplasmic reticulum to be further transported inside and/or outside the cell. In plant cells, the Golgi body also serves as the site for the synthesis of complex polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the final stage of transport through the Golgi apparatus, modified proteins and lipids are sorted in the trans Golgi network and are packaged into vesicles at the trans face. These vesicles then deliver the molecules to their target destinations, such as lysosomes or the cell membrane.
