Read the following statements regarding the Golgi apparatus and select the incorrect one.
Options
- AThe cis and trans faces of the organelle are entirely different but interconnected.
- BIt is an important site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
- CVesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the trans face and move towards the cis face.
- DThe cis face is convex in shape and is also known as the forming face.
Correct answer
C. Vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the trans face and move towards the cis face.
Step-by-step solution
The Golgi apparatus consists of a cis face (forming face) and a trans face (maturing face). The cis face is convex in shape, while the trans face is concave. Materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis face of the Golgi apparatus and move towards the trans face. Therefore, the statement that vesicles fuse with the trans face and move towards the cis face is incorrect. The Golgi apparatus is an important site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Th
