Question

Golgi complex is specialized for

• A. ATP synthesis
• B. protein synthesis
• C. glycosylation of lipids and proteins
• D. digestion of carbohydrates and proteins

Answer 1

The correct option is C glycosylation of lipids and proteins

The Golgi complex is specialized for glycosylation of lipids and proteins. The attachment of carbohydrates to protein and lipid molecules is called glycosylation. Glycosylation occurs both in the ER and Golgi apparatus. Thus, glycoproteins and glycolipids are formed after glycosylation.

Protein synthesis is the function of ribosomes.
ATP synthesis takes place in the mitochondria.
Carbohydrates and proteins are digested in the lysosomes.
