Solution

Golgi apparatus:

  1. Also known as the Golgi complex or Golgi body, these are stacked, membrane-bound cell organelles.
  2. They function as a factory in which proteins received from the endoplasmic reticulum are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
  3. Plant cells have several hundreds of Golgi bodies compared to animal cells who have only one Golgi apparatus.
  4. The rough endoplasmic reticulum renders the Golgi apparatus with lipids and proteins.
  5. The Golgi bodies secrete polysaccharides and pectin, which are utilized in the making of the plant cell wall.
