Golgi Apparatus

Image
  Name :- Golgi apparatus, Golgi body, Golgi complex, Post office of the cell, Shipping department of the cell ( Camillo Golgi (1898) first discovered, hence the name is Golgi ) . Properties : It is an membrane bound organelle situated near the nucleus. It is present in all cells except RBCs. Usually, each cell has one Golgi apparatus. Each Golgi apparatus consists of 5-8 flattened membranous sacs called  cisternae  (0.5-1.0 micrometer) . Golgi apparatus has two ends or faces, namely  cis  face (situated near the endoplasmic reticulum) and  trans  face (situated near the cell membrane). Functions : Major functions of Golgi apparatus are processing, packing, labeling and delivery of proteins and lipids to different part of the cell or outside of the cell. Processing :- glycoproteins and lipids are modified here. Packaging :- modified materials are packed in the form of secretory granules, secretory vesicles and lysosomes. Labeling and delivery :- Golgi apparatus sort out the processed m
