Question

The principal function of Golgi apparatus is

• A. Producing enzymes
• B. Protein synthesis
• C. Synthesis of lipids
• D. Packaging materials

Answer 1

The correct option is D Packaging materials

• Golgi apparatus is an organelle found in the eukaryotic cells which forms a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm.
• It mains function is sorting, modifying and packaging of proteins.
• It is involved in the secretion, glycosylation of proteins and lipids and helps in intracellular transport.
  
• 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.
• So, the correct answer is 'Packaging materials'.
