What is the golgi apparatus?
A
Is the “post office”, delivers molecules around the cell, outside, or stores them for later
B
Part of the cell wall that regulates temperature
C
The plasma inside the cell
D
Center of the cell that holds chromosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Named after its discoverer, Camillo Golgi, the Golgi body appears as a series of stacked membranes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The function of the Golgi apparatus is processing and packaging proteins that have exited the rough endoplasmic reticulum to be further transported inside and/or outside the cell. In plant cells, the Golgi body also serves as the site for the synthesis of complex polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exocystosis is the process of membrane transport that releases cellular contents outside of the cell. Here, a transport vesicle from the Golgi or elsewhere in the cell merges its membrane with the plasma membrane and releases its contents.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
