Answer (in Ajai's terms):

The purpose of Golgi body in the cell are to prepare and store chemical products produced in the cell, and then to secrete these outside the cell. The Golgi body packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for "export" from the cell.

What stores and releases chemicals in a cell?

Organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and vesicles store and release chemicals in a cell. These organelles play important roles in protein synthesis, processing, and transport within the cell.


What is the storage center of an animal cell?

Golgi bodies.it is Golgi bodies because, the Golgi bodies consist of a stack of membranes forming flattened sacs and small spherical sacs, or vesicles. Golgi bodies serve as packaging and storage centers for the secretory products of the cell.


What is a Golgi body?

Golgi bodies, named after the Italian biologist Camillo Golgi, are composed of a stack of about half a dozen sacuoles, whose purpose in the cell are to prepare and store chemical products produced in the cell, and then to secrete these outside the cell. Golgi bodies are formed when small sac like pieces of membrane are pinched away from the cell. In the endoplasmic reticulum, proteins synthesized by ribosomes are sent through the canals of the ER, where they meet up with the Golgi bodies. The proteins are then packaged in vesicles. The membranes of these vesicles are then able to bond with the cell membrane, where their contents are secreted outside the cell. Protiens are not the only material packaged in the Golgi bodies. A portion of materials in the wall of a plant cell are assembled in the Golgi bodies. The number and size of Golgi bodies found in a cell depends on the quantity of chemicals produced in the cell. The more chemicals, the more and larger bodies. For example, a large number of Golgi bodies are found in cells that produce saliva and other materials for digestion.


What part of the cell packages secretions?

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging and modifying proteins and other molecules for secretion outside the cell. It receives these molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum and processes them before sending them to their final destination.


What are Empty sacs with the cytoplasm called?

Empty sacs with cytoplasm are called vacuoles. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of a cell that typically store nutrients, waste products, and other substances.

How are Golgi bodies similar to a packaging plant?

Golgi bodies in a cell function similarly to a packaging plant in processing and packaging molecules for transport within or out of the cell. Golgi bodies modify proteins and lipids by sorting, packaging, and directing them to their final destination in the cell. This process is akin to how a packaging plant sorts and packages products before distribution.

What is the function of golgieapparatus?

The golgi apparatus (or golgi bodies) are the "shipping center" of the cell. They send energy and other products out of the cell and to the body.


Are Golgi bodies in a eukaryatic cell?

Yes, Golgi bodies exist in eukaryotic organisms to modify the products of both the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulums.

Where are cell products modified and packaged for transport?

Cell products are modified and packaged for transport in the Golgi apparatus within the cell. The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them, and then packages them into vesicles for transport to various destinations within and outside the cell.


Do Golgi bodies store protein?

Yes, Golgi bodies play a key role in processing, sorting, and packaging proteins for storage or transport within or outside the cell. They modify proteins received from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to their designated locations within the cell.
