Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Golgi complex is responsible for sorting, processing, and packaging materials for transport within the cell or for excretion. It modifies and packages proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport to their final destination. The rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein and lipid synthesis, respectively, but do not perform the sorting and packaging functions of the Golgi complex. The mitochondria are responsible for energy production and are not involved in intracellular transport.
