Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the main function of the Golgi Apparatus?
A
communicate with other cells
B
convert solar energy to chemical energy
C
process and deliver proteins
D
copy genetic information
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: -Protein cargo moves from the ER to the Golgi, is modified within the Golgi, and is then sent to various destinations in the cell, including the lysosomes and the cell surface. The Golgi processes proteins made by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) before sending them out to the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Its main function is the packaging and secretion of proteins. It receives proteins from Endoplasmic Reticulum. It packages it into membrane-bound vesicles, which are then transported to various destinations, such as lysosomes, plasma membrane or secretion.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘GA is involved in secretory protein synthesis’.
