What is 1 function of Golgi Apparatus
A
Golgi apparatus, also called Golgi body, membrane-bound organelle of Eukaryotic cells.
B
Golgi Apparatus are known as the powerhouses of the cell.
C
Golgi Apparatus is to control gene expression and mediate the replication of DNA during the cell cycle.
D
Golgi Apparatus are a cell structure that makes protein.
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 Golgi apparatus is a major organelle in most of the eukarytoic cells. They are membrane bound organelles, which are sac-like. They are found in the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells. The Golgi complex is composed of stacks of membrane-bound structures, these structures are known as the cisternae.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three primary functions of the Golgi apparatus are the transport, sorting and modification of both protein and lipid, and the protein composition of the organelle reflects these functions.
