Important site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids is:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Golgi apparatus
Golgi apparatus is a membranous organelle that consists of a bunch of flattened sacs. This organelle is usually involved in the packaging and labelling of molecules that it receives from other parts of the cell. A glycoprotein is a protein with a carbohydrate tag and a glycolipid is a lipid with a carbohydrate tag. Since the organelle is involved in the addition of tags, this is a function of the Golgi apparatus.
Lysosomes, vacuoles and plastids do not perform a tagging function.
