Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle receives proteins and materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them?
A
lysosomes
B
golgi apparatus
C
ribosomes
D
endoplasmic reticulum
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: -The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and lipids (fats) from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It modifies some of them and sorts, concentrates and packs them into sealed droplets called vesicles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transport vesicles are able to move molecules between locations inside the cell. For example, transport vesicles move proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Lysosomes are vesicles that are formed by the Golgi apparatus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Golgi body – A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum and modifies them, for example it can add a sugar molecule. The modified protein is then packaged into vesicles (small membrane-bound sacks or bubbles) that can be transported to the surface of the cell where they can be secreted.
