CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ ____ can be found in plant and animal cells, and receive proteins and materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them.
A
ER
B
Golgi Bodies
C
Cell Membrane
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Golgi body – A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -COPII-coated vesicles transport cargo proteins from the ER to the Golgi; COPI-coated vesicles transport cargo in the retrograde direction (from the cis-Golgi back to the ER) and between Golgi cisternae; and clathrin-coated vesicles form from the plasma membrane and the TGN to fuse with endosomes or lysosomes (Fig.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Golgi apparatus produces vesicles for packaging foreign particle or even helps in transportation of lipid.
