Describe the role of the Golgi apparatus?

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids that are synthesized in the cell. It acts as a distribution center by receiving molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum and then packaging them into vesicles for transport to their final destination within the cell or outside of it. Additionally, the Golgi apparatus plays a crucial role in the synthesis of certain carbohydrates and the formation of lysosomes.


What are the eight organelles and their functions?

Nucleus - contains genetic material and controls cell activities. Mitochondria - produces energy through cellular respiration. Chloroplasts - site of photosynthesis in plant cells. Endoplasmic reticulum - involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Golgi apparatus - packages and distributes proteins. Lysosomes - contain enzymes for digestion and waste removal. Vacuoles - store water, nutrients, and waste products. Ribosomes - involved in protein synthesis.
