What does the Golgi apparatus do?

Answer 1

The Golgi apparatus is involved in processing the broad range of cellular constituents that travel along the secretory pathway.

A variety of proteins that are received from the Endoplasmic Reticulum are processed by the Golgi apparatus before being sorted and delivered to secretory granules, the plasma membrane, or lysosomes.

The Golgi complex in plant cells is also where complex polysaccharides are synthesized.

In most eukaryotic cells, the Golgi apparatus is present.
