Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The Golgi apparatus remains in close association with the endoplasmic reticulum. Reason (R): 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. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropria
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- BBoth (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- C(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
- D(A) is not correct but (R) is correct
Correct answer
B. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT, the Golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials to be delivered to intra-cellular targets or secreted outside the cell. Materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fuse with the cis face (forming face) of the Golgi apparatus and move towards the trans face (maturing face). This directional flow of materials from the ER to the Golgi apparatus is the exact reason why the Golgi apparatus remains in close physical association with
