Which organelle packages and distributes proteins that are received from the endoplasmic reticulum? a)vacuole b)cytoplasm c)golgi apparatus d)ribosome

Answer;

-Golgi apparatus

Explanation;

-The Golgi apparatus is an organelle present in most eukaryotic cells. It is also called golgi complex or golgi bodies and are made up of membrane-bound sacs. The function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and bundle macromolecules like proteins and lipids as they are synthesized within the cell.

-Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins for secretion. It is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes.

Golgi apparatus sorts and packages proteins received from endoplasmic reticulum.

Further Explanation:

The cell is the fundamental functional, structural and biological unit of an organism. It is of two types, namely,

a. Eukaryotic

b. Prokaryotic

The prokaryotes lack a nucleus and are single-celled organisms. However, eukaryotes are the organisms that contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They can be single cellular or multicellular.

The different membrane-bound organelles present in the eukaryotes perform specific activities that help in the growth and development of the cell. Some of the organelles present in the eukaryotic cell include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, and centrosome.

The Golgi apparatus is the component of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is the main collection and depot point of proteins received from the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). This organelle is responsible for the packaging of proteins in the membrane-bound vesicles prior to the transmission of vesicles to their destination.  

Various glycosylation enzymes that are responsible for attaching the sugar monomers to the proteins are present in the Golgi apparatus. Thus, the Golgi body helps in protein modification and sorting them for transporting it to its destination within or outside the cell.
