The Golgi body [known as dictyosomes in plants] in is an organelle in the cell which has originated from the endoplasmic reticulum. It occurs in the form of granules,filaments or shaped.It contains stacks of flattened membrane.It also contains tubules and vesicles.It helps in synthesis and secretion of enzymes,hormones etc.It also helps in the formation of acrosome of sperm.

What is the function of the Golgi complex?

The Golgi is.... rather complex. It is also important to note that we have an incomplete knowledge of the Golgi.As far as we know the Golgi is involved in trafficking to and from the various organelles in the cell. In addition different parts of the Golgi are involved in O and N-linked glycosylation. The Golgi contains some apoptotic proteins so its probably involved in programmed cell death too. They likely package and distribute the proteins.A good way to understand cells at first to to see them as a factory. This factory manufactures proteins. The membrane forms the walls. There are doors which allow necessary things to come in and go out. The floor of the building contains the cytoplasm. 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 and receiving department. It sends out the proteins that the cell makes. The vacuoles are the trash bins. There are also parts which are brought out when needed as in cell division: centrioles and fibers.The Golgi complex is also known as Golgi bodies. Their purpose is to pack and carry proteins and lipids in the cell.


How long can HIV virus live outside its host medium?

HIV can survive for a very short time outside the body, typically only a few minutes to hours. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and quantity of virus can impact its ability to survive. It is important to note that HIV is not easily transmitted through environmental surfaces.


Does body fat help against hypothermia?

Body fat acts as an insulator and can help protect against hypothermia by providing an extra layer of warmth. It helps to maintain body temperature and prevent rapid heat loss in cold environments. However, it is important to note that other factors, such as clothing, activity level, and environmental conditions, also play a significant role in preventing hypothermia.


What is on the left side of the body?

Organs such as the heart, left lung, stomach, spleen, and part of the liver are located on the left side of the body. Additionally, the left side of the body contains the left kidney and part of the large and small intestines. It is important to note that the body's organs are not placed symmetrically.


Write note on nerve impulse?

A nerve impulse is an electrical signal that travels along nerve cells, allowing for communication between different parts of the body. It is generated when there is a change in the voltage across the cell membrane, causing a wave of depolarization and repolarization to propagate down the length of the neuron. Nerve impulses play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including movement, sensation, and communication between the brain and other organs.
