What is Golgi apparatus called in plant cell?

Open in App
Solution

Golgi apparatus An assembly of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that modifies proteins and packages them and other materials (e.g. polysaccharides) for delivery to the plasma membrane for secretion or to destinations within the cell. Proteins arrive in vesicles following their assembly in the endoplasmic reticulum; after processing in the Golgi apparatus, they are sorted into Golgi vesicles, for secretion, storage, or transport to lysosomes. Plant cells usually contain smaller arrays of Golgi-type vesicles, called dictyosomes.
so sometimes they are also called dictyosomes.
