Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle sorts, modifies and packages molecules for storage in the cell or secretion out of the cell?
A
Mitochondria
B
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
C
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
D
Golgi Body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages different substances for secretion out of the cell, or for use within the cell. The Golgi apparatus is found close to the nucleus of the cell where it modifies proteins that have been delivered in transport vesicles from the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or release outside the cell. From the Golgi apparatus, proteins are “shipped” to their final destination inside or outside the cell. Plants and some other organisms contain chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Figure 1: The Golgi apparatus modifies and sorts proteins for transport throughout the cell. The Golgi apparatus is often found in close proximity to the ER in cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can have secretory, excretory, and storage functions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Golgi apparatus prepares proteins and lipid (fat) molecules for use in other places inside and outside the cell. The Golgi apparatus is a cell organelle. Also called Golgi body and Golgi complex.
