What’s the Golgi apparatus?

The Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells that modifies, packages, and ships molecules. It is composed of cisternae and uses vesicles for storage and transport. It plays a vital role in modifying proteins and producing lysosomes. It is absent in prokaryotes. The Golgi apparatus is an organelle found in most eukaryotic […]

What’s the Golgi Complex?

The Golgi complex packages and modifies proteins and fats synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum. It is made up of flattened membrane sacs and has five functional regions. Enzymes in the Golgi change the size and shape of proteins and fats, and newly formed molecules can be stored or released from the cell. Exocytosis is used […]
