What else can I help you with?
Which organelle sorts proteins so they can be used by the body?
The Golgi apparatus is the organelle that is responsible for sorting proteins before they are sent to the body of the organism.
Flattened membrane sacs used to collect and package proteins and lipids?
Golgi Apparatus
Does the Golgi apparatus have a membrane?
Yes, the Golgi apparatus has a membrane. It is made up of a series of flattened sacs or cisternae that are surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane. The membrane of the Golgi apparatus helps in maintaining the structure and function of this organelle.
What is the purpose of gagi apparatus?
Do you mean a Golgi apparatus? If so, then it is used for processing and packaging macronutrients, like proteins and lipids, inside of a cell.
What organelle modifies proteins before they are either used by the cell or transported out of the cell?
In a cell the rough and smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum modifies proteins. The Golgi Apparatus also modifies and packages proteins.
What organelle serves as a packaging area for molecules that will be used throughout the cell?
The Golgi apparatus serves as the packaging area for molecules in the cell. It receives and modifies proteins and lipids made by the endoplasmic reticulum and prepares them for distribution to various parts of the cell.
What is the nickname for the Golgi apparatus?
It is called the post office of the cell. It packs and transport proteins
Do fungi have Golgi apparatus?
Yes, fungi have a Golgi apparatus just like other eukaryotic organisms. The Golgi apparatus in fungi is responsible for processing, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or for use within the cell.
What is the difference between Golgi apparatus and the Golgi complex?
The Golgi apparatus and Golgi complex are often used interchangeably to refer to the same organelle in cells. The Golgi apparatus is a series of flattened sacs or vesicles responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion. It is sometimes referred to as the Golgi complex when describing the entire structure and associated functions.
What can you compare a Golgi apparatus to?
A Post Office. The Golgi apparatus packages proteins and fats for export outside the cell.
What role does the Golgi apparatus play in protein synthesis?
A good way to understand cells at first to to see them as a factory. This factory manufactures proteins. The nucleus is the main office. 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 Golgi body is the shipping department. It sends out the proteins that the cell needs.
What happens after the synthesis of proteins?
After proteins get modified in the Endoplasmic Reticulum, they are transported through the golgi apparatus where they get packaged into vesicles to late be secreted out of the cell or to be used within the cell.
