Given below are two statements: Statement I: The Golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials, to be delivered either to the intra-cellular targets or secreted outside the cell. Statement II: Materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the trans face of the Golgi apparatus and move towards the cis face. In the light of the above statements, cho
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer
C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Statement I is correct. The Golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials, to be delivered either to the intra-cellular targets or secreted outside the cell. Statement II is incorrect. Materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis face (forming face) of the Golgi apparatus and move towards the trans face (maturing face), not the other way around. Answer: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
