What happens if the Golgi apparatus doesnt work?

Answer 1

The Golgi Apparatus is the post office of the cell. Proteins are made on the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and modified in the Goli complex forming such proteins like Glycoproteins, transmembrane and excreted proteins.

On the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Lipids are synthesised.

These proteins and lipids are excreted by the cell to be used elsewhere throughout other cells, membranes and signalling in the extracellular fluids of the body.

If the Golgi Apparatus was damaged, protein shape, hence function may be altered.

This is just one example of what could happen though anything from no proteins being synthesised to lysosomes being released damaging intracellular components.

The Golgi complex is necessary for the plasma membrane proteins and lipids and many other things in and around the cell and so damage would most probably cause the cell to undergo PCD (Programmed cell death), but this would only occur if the Golgi complex could not be repaired, which it most likely could be.

Answer 2

If there was no Golgi apparatus, the proteins would float around not knowing where to go. Other cells and organs in the body wouldn't function properly because they didn't receive the products from the Golgi.

Answer 3

The proteins would not be packaged which would not allow lysosomes to have the digestive enzymes inside which would cause a build up of materials. Secretion would also not be possible because the Golgi would create secretory vesicles.

Answer 4

what happens in the body if that cell malfunctions

Answer 5

everything would be at stand still postion
