MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -In plant cells, the Golgi apparatus further serves as the site at which the complex polysaccharides of the cell wall are synthesized. The Golgi apparatus is thus involved in processing the broad range of cellular constituents that travel along the secretory pathway.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi body can be found in both plants and animals. The Golgi apparatus is found in all plant and animal cells and refers to groups of flattened disc-like structures near the endoplasmic reticulum. Animal cells have fewer but larger Golgi apparatuses. Plant cells can hold up to several hundred smaller versions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Golgi apparatus of both higher plant and animal cells sorts and packages macromolecules which are in transit to and from the cell surface and to the lysosome (vacuole). It is also the site of oligosaccharide and polysaccharide synthesis and modification.
