B)Digestion of engulfed bacteria and using oxygen to generate ATP
C)Synthesizing lipids and intracellular storage of calcium ions
D)Modifying proteins synthesized on free ribosomes and allowing the distribution of modified proteins throughout the cell in vesicles
E)Modifying proteins synthesized on ribosomes associated with granular endoplasmic reticulum and allowing the distribution of modified proteins throughout the cell in vesicles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying proteins synthesized on ribosomes associated with granular endoplasmic reticulum and allowing the distribution of modified proteins throughout the cell in vesicles. It does not store calcium ions or synthesize lipids, which are functions of other organelles. It also does not digest engulfed bacteria or use oxygen to generate ATP, which are functions of lysosomes and mitochondria, respectively.
