The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sends proteins and lipids in membranous vesicles to the Golgi body (also known as the Golgi apparatus or the Golgi complex). The Golgi body looks like a stack of pita breads; it resembles the ER. There, the membranous vesicles containing proteins or lipids will fuse with one side of the Golgi body known as the cis face.

Inside the Golgi body, proteins and lipids will have carbohydrate molecules added to them, forming glycoproteins (proteins with carbohydrates attached) and glycolipids (lipids with carbohydrates attached). After being modified, the glycoproteins and glycolipids will exit the Golgi body in membranous vesicles through the trans face (the side opposite the cisface).

The brain sends messages through your body, which makes your nervous system work.


Why is the nucleus good at its job?

Because it sends messages to the cell and tells the cell what to do.

How are the characteristics or traits stored in your DNA?

This question is a little broad, but I'll do my best. DNA is found in the chromosomes and is composed of millions of base pairs held together by two sugar-phosphate backbones. The base pairs can be A-T, T-A, C-G, or G-C. DNA holds the instructions that are needed to create proteins; certain lengths of base pairs on the chromosomes, called genes, hold the code that the cell uses to create proteins. Cells in different places in the body need different proteins, but they all have the same DNA, so certain genes are activated or deactivated based on signals that come from nearby cells, leading to cell specialization. When a cell makes a protein, an activated gene in DNA sends a message in the form of mRNA to the ribosomes, which translate the message into an amino acid sequence, or polypeptide. Many polypeptides are put together in order to create the proteins that the body needs. As you can see, the order of base pairs in DNA essentially determines the proteins that will be created. Between two individuals, the DNA is not exactly the same, so there is a slight alteration in the way all the proteins in their bodies are put together, and their defining physical and mental characteristics become evident. OR -- DNA encodes molecules. Molecules have different functions under different stresses. Traits are macro characteristics of the individual. For example, when some molecule encounters a low pH (a stressor) (for example) it binds with whatever resulting in hair that doesn't diffuse light -- that is, the individual is seen with dark hair. So we say the DNA encodes the trait of dark hair. I assure you, however, that the DNA never heard of dark hair.

What is covered by ribosomes and sends it modified protein to the Golgi aperatus?

The ribosome covered organelle that modifies and sends out proteins is the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The ribosome is a cellular structure on which proteins are made. The rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes and packages proteins.


Does the Golgi body processes stores and produces proteins and lipids?

No. In a cell, the Golgi Body acts as the "Mail Room." It receives materials an sends them off to other parts of the cell.

What forms a tissue?

Well tissues are made up of proteins, so what makes proteins? The answer is Ribosomes. The DNA stays at the nucleus of a cell and RNA are the ones that sends out the information to Ribosomes that make the proteins.

What modifies protein chemically then repackage them?

The Golgi Apparatus modifies proteins chemically then repackages them. Proteins are modified both in the Endoplasmic Reticulum and the Golgi Apparatus, and proteins are packaged in both locations into vesicles. However, judging by the word "repackage", the Golgi Apparatus is the likely answer (ER sends its vesicles to Golgi for further processing).


What process and sends proteins?

On the cellular level, it is the endoplasmic reticulum which processes and transports proteins.
