Question

The Golgi complex plays a major role

• A. in trapping the light and transforming it into chemical energy.
• B. in digesting proteins and carbohydrates.
• C. as energy transferring organelles.
• D. in post translational modification of proteins and glycosidation of lipids.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The Golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials to be delivered either to the intra- cellular targets or secreted outside the cell. A number of proteins synthesised by ribosomes on ER are modified in the cisternae of golgi apparatus before they are released from the trans face. It is important site of formation of glycolipids and glycoproteins.
