No, the Golgi apparatus is not primarily the site of carbohydrate breakdown. Instead, it is involved in the modification, sorting, and packaging of proteins and lipids, including glycoproteins and glycolipids that contain carbohydrates. Carbohydrate breakdown mainly occurs in lysosomes and the cytoplasm, where enzymes like glycosidases break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars.

What does the golgi produce?

The Golgi body modifies and ships proteins in vesicles to other parts of the cell where needed and out of the cell if need be. Also the Golgi is the site of lysosome synthesis.


Is a Golgi complex an organelle?

Is cellular respiration a function of the Golgi apparatus?

No, cellular respiration is not a function of the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus is primarily responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for transport within or out of the cell. Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria and involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.
