Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for the processing, modification, and sorting of proteins and lipids that are synthesized in the cell. It is especially prominent and well-developed in secretory cells, such as glandular epithelial cells, which need to package and secrete large amounts of proteins and other molecules. The Golgi apparatus modifies and sorts these proteins, and packages them into vesicles for transport to the plasma membrane or for secretion outside the cell.
