Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does the cis face do?
A
Creates lipids
B
Processes substances that came out of the endoplasmic reticulum
C
Creates proteins
D
Packages proteins into vesicles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The convex side facing the ER/nucleus is referred to as cis-Golgi, while the concave side facing the cytoplasm is referred to as trans-Golgi. The cis face of the Golgi apparatus’s primary function is to receive proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Membrane biogenesis is the process of formation of plasma membrane and plasma membrane, is composed of lipids and proteins. Endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes which release proteins. Therefore, it plays an important role.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main function of the cis face of the Golgi apparatus is to receive proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, the CGN always faces the endoplasmic reticulum. Since the cis face receives vesicles, this face is always called the forming face.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cis-face of the Golgi stack is that closest to the ER.
