CELL ORGANELLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a cell is compared to a city, then the Golgi apparatus, which contains membrane-bound structures called cisternae, acts as the
A
trash service of the cell as it removes waste from the cell
B
post office of the cell by packaging and sorting proteins
C
mayor of the cell as it controls all of the cell’s activities
D
electrical plant of the cell by making usable energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vesicles that bud off from the ER fuse with the closest Golgi membranes, called the cis-Golgi. Molecules then travel through the Golgi apparatus via vesicle transport until they reach the end of the assembly line at the farthest sacs from the ER-called the trans-Golgi.

Detailed explanation-2: -Morphologically the Golgi is composed of flattened membrane-enclosed sacs (cisternae) and associated vesicles (Figure 9.22). A striking feature of the Golgi apparatus is its distinct polarity in both structure and function.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Golgi Apparatus, also known as the Golgi Complex or Golgi Body, is a membrane-bound organelle found near the Endoplasmic Reticulum in Eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Golgi apparatus is one of the most elaborate organelles in the cell (Farquhar and Palade 1981). It consists of flattened membrane sacs called cisternae, which are usually but not always organized into polarized stacks (Mowbrey and Dacks 2009).
