Biology Golgi Apparatus (BIOLOGY)
Biology Golgi Apparatus (BIOLOGY)
The Golgi is made up of 5-8 folds called cisternae. The cisternae contain specific
enzymes creating five functional regions which modify proteins passing through
them.
FUNCTION
The Golgi Apparatus is responsible for packaging proteins into vesicles prior to
secretion and therefore plays a key role in the secretory pathway.
SIZE
The Golgi Apparatus is present in eukaryotic cells (cells with a clearly defined
nuclei), it is also located in the cytoplasm next to the endoplasmic reticulum and
near the cell nucleus.
