Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What organelle is the protein packaging and shipping machine?
A
Vacuole
B
Ribosome
C
Golgi Apparatus
D
Endoplasmic Reticulum
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 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-3: -The transport vesicles pinch off the ends of the ER. The rough endoplasmic reticulum works with the Golgi apparatus to move new proteins to their proper destinations in the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The organelle that functions as the processing, packaging, and shipping center for proteins and lipids exported from the cell is called Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex.

Detailed explanation-5: -The three primary functions of the Golgi apparatus are the transport, sorting and modification of both protein and lipid, and the protein composition of the organelle reflects these functions.
