Answer 1

Explanation : 2 Marks
Reason out : 1 Mark

The job of the Golgi apparatus is to process and bundle macromolecules like proteins and lipids as they are synthesized within the cell. Like a sorting section in a post office, Golgi apparatus inside the cell

1. modifies
2. sorts
3. packages proteins to be secreted

Remember, it does not synthesise proteins.

If there was no Golgi apparatus,

1. Various substances would not be in a position to be transformed into forms for further use.
2. Further certain substances, like phospho lipids' activities would get hampered as they are an important constituent in the formation of plasma membrane and forming new cells.
