Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
the main function of Golgi Apparatus
A
contains molecules such as enzymes which are responsible for breaking down waste and also aid in metabolic activity.
B
are a cell structure that makes protein.
C
it takes in nutrients from the cell, breaks it down, and turns it into energy.
D
is made up of approximately four to eight cisternae.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In general, the Golgi apparatus is made up of approximately four to eight cisternae, although in some single-celled organisms it may consist of as many as 60 cisternae. The cisternae are held together by matrix proteins, and the whole of the Golgi apparatus is supported by cytoplasmic microtubules.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -There are four components of Golgi bodies. They are cisternae, tubules, vesicles, and vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animal cells generally contain between ten and twenty Golgi stacks per cell, which are linked into a single complex by tubular connections between cisternae. This complex is usually located close to the cell nucleus.
