Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the cell is responsible for packaging and transporting substances made in the cell?
A
Endoplasmic Reticulum
B
Vacuole
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi apparatus is responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Golgi apparatus (aka Golgi body aka Golgi) It is responsible for packing proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum into membrane-bound vesicles (tiny compartments of lipid bilayer that store molecules) which then translocate to the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In a nutshell, the Golgi apparatus is often referred to as the cell’s packing plant or post office because it collects and modifies molecules before sorting and addressing them for transport to other parts of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, we can say A lysosome is a membrane-bounded vesicular structure formed by the process of packaging in the Golgi apparatus.
