What organelle receive, packages & distributes proteins and other materials?
A
Endoplasmic Reticulum
B
Nucleus
C
Mitochondria
D
Golgi bodies
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: -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-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.
