Golgi bodies
A
Provide energy for the cell
B
Contain genetic material
C
Digest foreign particles
D
Store and package chemicals
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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, 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. In addition, as noted earlier, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Golgi body or Golgi apparatus stores and packages molecules, and it sends them to where they need to be in the body. It tends to be closely associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi body packages substances produced here into vesicles.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Golgi apparatus is responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations. As the secretory proteins move through the Golgi apparatus, a number of chemical modifications may transpire.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells can contain as many as several hundred smaller versions. 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.
