What is the golgi apparatus?

The Golgi apparatus is a subunit of an organelle that is present in both plants and animals. It carries out the function of the cell's packaging and shipping store for all of its protein shipping needs by encapsulating proteins in membrane-bound vesicles and sending them to either inside or outside the cell.

In eukaryotic cells, the Golgi apparatus is an organelle in charge of breaking down, altering, and storing proteins and lipids.

The Golgi apparatus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells responsible for processing, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum. It consists of a series of flattened membrane-bound sacs called cisternae. The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them by adding sugars or other molecules, sorts them, and packages them into vesicles for transport to their final destinations within the cell or for secretion outside the cell.
