Solution
Golgi bodies:
The Golgi apparatus is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells.
It is a part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination.
Plant cells have several hundreds of Golgi bodies, unlike animal cells.
In-plant cells, in addition to their normal functions, synthesize polysaccharide molecules, which constitute the making of the cell wall.
For this reason, plant cells have many Golgi bodies compared to animal cells.
