  2. BThe cis and trans faces of the organelle are entirely different but are interconnected.
  3. CMaterials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the ER fuse with the trans face of the Golgi apparatus.
  4. DIt consists of many flat, disc-shaped sacs or cisternae of 0.5 m to 1.0 m diameter.

Correct answer

C. Materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the ER fuse with the trans face of the Golgi apparatus.

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 endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fuse with the cis face (forming face) of the Golgi apparatus and move towards the trans face (maturing face). Therefore, the statement that materials fuse with the trans face is incorrect. Answer: Materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the ER fuse with the tr
