4. Golgi bodies help in the transportation of lipids and in the formation of lysosomes.
5. Golgi bodies produce sphingomyelin, glycolipids, complex polysaccharide required for making the cell wall.

Structure of Golgi bodies:

1. Golgi bodies are membrane-bound cell organelle found in the cytoplasm adjacent to the endoplasmic reticulum.
2. Golgi bodies have 5 to 8 cup-shaped series of compartments known as cisternae.
3. Cisternae are flat, disk-like, stacked pouches that make up the Golgi bodies.
4. Each Golgi body contains 4 to 8 cisternae
5. Golgi bodies have vesicles that are filled with fluid and are arranged parallel to each other.
6. These vesicles are connected to the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum.
