What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

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 apparatus in plant cells is also responsible for the synthesis of complex polysaccharides.

Commonly found in eukaryotic cells, the Golgi apparatus is a single membrane organelle that encircles a fluid-filled area where complex molecules are stored and modified. It is shaped and stacked like pancakes.
