Question

Space between adjacent cisternae of Golgi apparatus is

• A. 15 $\stackrel{o}{A}$
• B. 30 $\stackrel{o}{A}$
• C. 80-100 $\stackrel{o}{A}$
• D. 100-300 $\stackrel{o}{A}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D 100-300 $\stackrel{o}{A}$

• Golgi apparatus is an organelle found in the eukaryotic cells which forms a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm.
  
• The Golgi apparatus semicircular membrane-bound sacs or folds (5-8 in number) called cisternae (with ribosome molecule) which are called the functional units of the organelle.
  
• The cisternae present is of 4 types- cis, medial, trans and (trans-Golgi network which helps in modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion.
  
• The space between adjacent cisternae of Golgi apparatus is 100-300 Angstrom.
  
• So, the correct answer is '100-300 Angstrom'.
