Question

Which of the following statements are true regarding Golgi apparatus?

• A. GA has polarity
• B. Cis-face is located close to either nucleus or transitional ER
• C. Trans-face is located near plasma membrane
• D. All of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The Golgi complex is made several flattened membranes sacs, but can be ultimately divided into two sections, the Cis Golgi and the Trans Golgi Network (TGN). The Cis Golgi functions as the receiving end for newly synthesized proteins from the lumen of the endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). Vesicles containing proteins from the ER merge with the Cis Golgi allowing the proteins to enter the Golgi complex. As the Cis Golgi receives proteins from the ER, the proteins then begin their modification moving along membrane to membrane towards the TGN. At the other end of the Golgi complex, the newly modified protein arrives at the TGN where it is then send off to different parts of the cell via a transport vesicle.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
