Which organelle is made up of flat, membrane enclosed sacs and functions as a processing centre?
The Golgi apparatus is found in most cells. It is another packaging organelle like endoplasmic reticulum. It was named after Camillo Golgi, an Italian biologist. They are found in the cytoplasm of both, plant and animal cells. It is composed of stacks of membrane-bound structures known as cisternae. It involves in the formation of cell plate during the cell division in plants. It produces vesicles for packaging and transport protein, lipids and other material from one organelle to other. It also produces lysosomes.
