Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle packages proteins?
A
Golgi bodies
B
nucleus
C
vacuole
D
lysosome
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.

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: -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-4: -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-5: -The Golgi apparatus (body) sorts and ships proteins to the correct place. It does not produce proteins or enzymes, a type of protein. Rough ER and ribosomes produce proteins.
