Options
- ASynthesising proteins
- BPackaging materials
- CTransporting materials to the cell membrane
- DModifying proteins
Correct answer
B. Packaging materials
Step-by-step solution
The golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials , to be delivered either to the intra-cellular targets or secreted outside the cell. Materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the ER fuse with the cis face of the golgi apparatus and move towards the maturing face. This explains, why the golgi apparatus remains in close association with the endoplasmic reticulum. A number of proteins synthesized by ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum are modified in the cisternae of the gol
