Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle packages and distributes proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum?
A
Golgi Body
B
Ribosomes
C
Vacuole
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Golgi body has main function of modifying, sorting and packaging the proteins, which are synthesized by cells coming from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-2: -This sorting, tagging, packaging, and distribution takes place in the Golgi apparatus (Golgi body), an organelle made up of flattened discs of membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and lipids (fats) from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It modifies some of them and sorts, concentrates and packs them into sealed droplets called vesicles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Collections of sacs and tubes called Golgi bodies receive proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, package them, and distribute them to other parts of the cell. The Golgi bodies release materials outside the cell.
