Solution

Golgi apparatus:


  1. The Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells.
  2. The Golgi apparatus packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination.
  3. The Golgi apparatus resides at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways.
  4. It processes proteins for secretion, containing a set of glycosylation enzymes that attach various sugar monomers to proteins as the proteins move through the apparatus.
