Solution:
Eukaryotic cells contain a unique cluster of membrane vesicles known as Golgi apparatus. It principally performs the function of packaging materials. The newly synthesized proteins are handed over to the Golgi apparatus which is catalysed by the addition of carbohydrates, lipid or sulphates moieties to the proteins. Golgi apparatus is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
