Yes, an egg cell, like other eukaryotic cells, contains Golgi bodies (Golgi apparatus). These organelles are involved in processing and packaging proteins and lipids, which are essential for various cellular functions, including those related to reproduction and early development. In egg cells, Golgi bodies play a role in synthesizing components necessary for fertilization and embryonic development.

Do skin cells contain Golgi bodies?

Yes, skin cells contain Golgi bodies. The Golgi bodies are responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids produced by the cell before they are transported to their final destination within the cell or outside of the cell.


What is an Golgi bodies?

Golgi bodies, named after the Italian biologist Camillo Golgi, are composed of a stack of about half a dozen sacuoles, whose purpose in the cell are to prepare and store chemical products produced in the cell, and then to secrete these outside the cell. Golgi bodies are formed when small sac like pieces of membrane are pinched away from the cell. In the endoplasmic reticulum, proteins synthesized by ribosomes are sent through the canals of the ER, where they meet up with the Golgi bodies. The proteins are then packaged in vesicles. The membranes of these vesicles are then able to bond with the cell membrane, where their contents are secreted outside the cell. Protiens are not the only material packaged in the Golgi bodies. A portion of materials in the wall of a plant cell are assembled in the Golgi bodies. The number and size of Golgi bodies found in a cell depends on the quantity of chemicals produced in the cell. The more chemicals, the more and larger bodies. For example, a large number of Golgi bodies are found in cells that produce saliva and other materials for digestion.
