Question

What are the two poles of a Golgi apparatus called?

Answer 1

Golgi apparatus:

1. The membrane-bound organelle is present inside the cytoplasm of the cell next to the endoplasmic reticulum.
2. It consists of flat sac-like structures called cisternae.
3. It is responsible for packaging, modifying, and transporting the proteins and lipids in form of vesicles to their desired destinations (to the endoplasmic reticulum, endosomes, or lysosomes).

Two poles of the Golgi apparatus

1. The Cis phase is the forming face located near the endoplasmic reticulum.
2. Trans phase is the maturing face which acts as the receiving face for proteins and lipids which are needed to modify and pack into vesicles.
