In a animal cell what is the function of a Golgi apparatus?

Answer 1

The function of the Golgi apparatus is that it modifies, sorts, and packages proteins.

It receives protein from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and prepares them for secretion from the cell. This often involves adding carbohydrates to the proteins to make glycoproteins.

Answer 2

From Wikipedia "The Golgi apparatus is integral in modifying, sorting, and packaging...macromolecules for cell secretion (exocytosis) or use within the cell."

This is a really good explanation of the major function of the golgi. I like to think of it as like a FedEx store where you take in the things you want to send and they package it up and send it. Wikipedia has a really good write up on the golgi and if you have any more questions you should check there.

Answer 3

The nucleus is the main office of a factory. This is where plans are drafted and drawn up to make proteins. These instructions are sent to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). This is the factory floor. Each work station is a ribosome. These ribosomes make the proteins. The mitochondria are the power houses. The Golgibody is the shipping department. It sends out the proteins that the cell needs. The vacuoles are the trash bins. There are parts which are brought out when needed as in cell division: centrioles and fibers.

Answer 4

The Golgi further modifies modified proteins that have come from the ER, packages them in vesicles and ships them where needed inside the cell and outside the cell. The Golgi is also the site of lysosome synthesis.

Answer 5

The Golgi apparatus is associated with:

# Glycosylating (adding sugar groups to) proteins

# Packaging proteins in vesicles and sending them to different cellular locations

Answer 6

The answer for this question is...... it sort out all the proteins to the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Answer 7

packing, sorting
