Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What cell function would be affected if the Golgi apparatus is damaged?
A
Exporting Proteins
B
Storage of water and waste
C
Production of Energy
D
Cell divison
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes would not be generated in the absence of the Golgi apparatus, and the cell would eventually die as a result of the buildup of dead and damaged molecules and organelles. Materials would no longer be packaged or transported if the Golgi apparatus were absent. The cell’s secretory functions would also stop.

Detailed explanation-2: -Such defects typically result in mislocalization of proteins, impaired glycosylation of proteins, and the accumulation of undegraded proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -When Golgi apparatus is removed from the cell, the modification of lipid and protein molecules synthesized by the cell is stopped. These modifications lead to the formation of functional forms of enzymes, hormones and other intracellular and extracellular secretions. Therefore, formation of these substances is stopped.

Detailed explanation-5: -Golgi bodies package the proteins received from the endoplasmic reticulum, into vesicles. These vesicles are transported to other cell organelles for performing other cellular activities. Without the Golgi bodies, the packaging and transport of proteins will not take place.
