Protein molecules are composed of amino acids, which contain nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. Your body uses amino acids to produce new proteins and to replace damaged proteins.

Your body can synthesize most of the 21 amino acids that you need to make protein, with the exception of nine essential amino acids (histadine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine) that must come from your food.

Fortunately, all unrefined foods have varying amounts of protein with varying amino acid profiles, including leafy green vegetables, tubers, grains, legumes, and nuts. All the essential and nonessential amino acids are present in these foods in amounts that meet or exceed your needs.

What does the Golgi apparatus do to cell?

The Golgi apparatus serves the cell by modifying, sorting, and packaging molecules which have been synthesized by the cell to secrete them. The Golgi apparatus also distributes proteins and lipids. throughout the cell.


What organelle sorts and ships molecules coming into and leaving the cell?

The Golgi apparatus acts as a sort of post office or shipping and receiving depatment for the cell. When proteins arrive from within the cell to the golgi body, they're packaged up before being sent off.


What organelles make and package proteins?

The organelle known as "Endoplasmic Reticulum" is responsible for finishing the protein molecules and packaging them. They come in two kinds: 1. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (S-ER), which do not have ribosomes attached, and mainly manufacture lipids and package them in vesicles. 2. Rough endoplasmic reticulum (R-ER), which have ribosomes attached, and can manufacture as well as add non-polypeptide groups to polypeptide chains to make finished proteins. These also pack the proteins into vesicles. Endoplasmic Reticuli present in muscle cells are known as Sarcoplasmic reticuli.


Compare and contrast the function of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) synthesizes, folds, and transports proteins and lipids, while the Golgi complex modifies, sorts, and packages these molecules for transport to their final destinations. The ER is involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism, whereas the Golgi complex processes and post-translationally modifies proteins before they are shipped to other cellular compartments or to the cell surface.


What organelle stores proteins?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum for protein storage. Fat storage: vacuole / smooth ER lipid bio synthesis. All organelles and cytoplasm have water and that is the reason they can transport everything in and out of cell and cell parts.

Which cell organelle is responsible for intracellular digestion?

The Golgi Apparatus aka Golgi Complex produces lysozomes which will combine with it and digest them. If you are wondering what a Golgi Apparatus is then it is basically a "warehouse" to store and export proteins. The proteins come from the ribosomes which creates them.

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

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.

What is the relationship between the Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane?

Many proteins need additional sugars added to them. This is called glycosylation and is essential for many proteins and occurs in the Golgi, so if these proteins didn't pass through it there would be trouble. More importantly however is that many proteins need to be secreted, and they have to be secreted through the Golgi.
