Question

Which is the important site of the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids in eukaryotic cells?

• A. Golgi Bodies
• B. Polysomes
• C. Endoplasmic Reticulum
• D. Peroxisomes

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Golgi Bodies

The correct option is A.

Explanation of correct option:

1. Golgi bodies are cell organelles.
2. The main function of Golgi bodies or Golgi apparatus is to synthesize proteins and lipids.
3. The complex proteins and lipids like glycolipids and glycoproteins are manufactured by Golgi bodies.

Explanation of incorrect options:

Option B:

1. The function of polysomes is to help in the translation process during protein synthesis.

Option C:

1. The function of the endoplasmic reticulum is to carry out post-translational modifications.

Option D:

1. The function of the peroxisomes is to store peroxidase enzymes.

Final answer: Golgi bodies are the important site of the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids in Eukaryotic cells.
