TRANSCRIPT
STRUCTURE
Unique structure that some say looks like a maze, but the structure
is actually made of stacks of flattened membranous sacs, or
cisternae, and it helps proteins travel from different points in the
cell. Unlike the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum or ER, these
membranes are not connected.
Cisternae- one of the large spaces under the arachnoid membrane.
Usually comes in a group of 5-8
Cisternae also helps proteins travel from different points in the cell
using enzymes.
FUNCTION
A major function is the modifying, sorting and packaging
of proteins for release. It is also involved in the transport of
lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes.
The Golgi apparatus acts to process and package the
macromolecules such as proteins and lipids that are made
by the cell.
It is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell,
and the creation of lysosomes.
FUN FACTS! The Golgi body collects substances from the endoplasmic reticulum.
It is made of a stack of membrane-bound sacs.
It produces vesicles which carry emissions to the surface of the cell.
Some modification can take place before substances are buried.
An example of an animal cell with many Golgi bodies is an epithelial cell
that secretes mucus.
The cell wall of plant cells is exported to the outside of the membrane by
Golgi bodies.
ORGANISMS, ORGANISMS, ORGANISMS
The Golgi apparatus is found in all plant and
animal cells and is the term given to groups of
flattened disc-like structures located close to the
endoplasmic reticulum.
