Q: What is the primary function of the Golgi apparatus? (2021)
Solution:
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that the Golgi apparatus is a part of the cell.
Step 2: Know that proteins are made in the cell and need to be processed.
Step 3: The Golgi apparatus takes these proteins and modifies them, which means it changes their structure to make them functional.
Step 4: After modifying the proteins, the Golgi apparatus sorts them, deciding where they need to go.
Step 5: Finally, the Golgi apparatus packages the proteins into vesicles, which are small bubbles that transport them.
Step 6: These vesicles can either send the proteins out of the cell or deliver them to other parts of the cell.
