Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the role of Golgi apparatus in hepatocytes?
A
produces plasma proteins for use within the cell
B
produces plasma proteins to be exported out of the cell
C
packages and modifies plasma proteins
D
breaks down vesicles
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. In addition, as noted earlier, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi apparatus is a membranous organelle that modifies and packages proteins and lipids into transport carriers and sends them to the proper locations in the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. 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-4: -The Golgi apparatus is responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations. As the secretory proteins move through the Golgi apparatus, a number of chemical modifications may transpire.

Detailed explanation-5: -The relationship between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane is that the Golgi apparatus sends proteins to the cell membrane that will either become membrane proteins or be secreted. The Golgi apparatus is like the post office of the cell.
