The Golgi apparatus is responsible for sorting and modifying proteins and lipids and sending them to their final destination within the cell or outside of it. It is not involved in storing genetic material or capturing sunlight for energy. While the Golgi may receive proteins produced by ribosomes, it does not convert ribosomes to proteins, nor does it create energy in this manner.
