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).

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 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?

Yes, the Golgi body processes and modifies proteins and lipids that are produced by the endoplasmic reticulum. It also sorts and packages these molecules into vesicles for transport to other parts of the cell or for secretion.


Is the large organelle that sends protein and lipids where they need to go?

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).
