LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -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. The Golgi apparatus is a cell organelle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi apparatus (GA), also called Golgi body or Golgi complex and found universally in both plant and animal cells, is typically comprised of a series of five to eight cup-shaped, membrane-covered sacs called cisternae that look something like a stack of deflated balloons.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough) is an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structure which are evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm. The interconnected flattened sacs of the endoplasmic reticulum are called cisternae. So, the correct answer is ‘Cisternae’.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Golgi apparatus consists of flattened membranous sacs, called cisternae, and small vesicles. The Golgi apparatus accepts proteins from the rough ER, which come by way of transport vesicles. Then the Golgi sorts the proteins and may chemically modify them before sending them to their destinations.
