Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelles that has a series of flattened membranes, involved in secretion proteins from cells and in reactions that link sugar to other cellular components?
A
Endoplasmic reticulum
B
Peroxisomes
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi apparatus functions as a molecular assembly line in which membrane proteins undergo extensive post-translational modification. Many Golgi reactions involve the addition of sugar residues to membrane proteins and secreted proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -A stack of small flat sacs formed by membranes inside the cell’s cytoplasm (gel-like fluid). The Golgi apparatus prepares proteins and lipid (fat) molecules for use in other places inside and outside the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ribosomes, found within the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytoplasm, are the main site of protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Golgi apparatus, also called Golgi complex or Golgi body, membrane-bound organelle of eukaryotic cells (cells with clearly defined nuclei) that is made up of a series of flattened, stacked pouches called cisternae.
